A different perspective

PPT 2 – drawing in one point perspective

Today’s objectives

• We will take what we learned in the classroom last week and use it to draw in real life!

• We will discuss the rules of one point perspective and plan our drawing before we start.

• Then we will learn about 2 point perspective and draw our own city!

This picture shows one point perspective…who would like to come and put their finger on the vanishing point?

Task 1Take your sketchbooks, a ruler and something to lean on, and draw the view down the corridor.

Two Point Perspective

Two point perspective occurs when you are facing the corner of something – a building, a street, a box…anything where you can see two sides of the object at the same time.

Homework
