Lesson 2: 1 Point Perspective

  Art Foundations
1 Point Perspective


 Period:  1  Class | Supplies:  Paper, Pencil, Eraser, Ruler, Sharpie for outlining

Utah Standards

  • Std. 7-8.V.CR.3: Develop criteria to guide making a work of art or design to meet an identified goal.

Students will be able to

  • Draw basic shapes in 1 point perspective and add shading in the correct locations 

  • Demonstrate understanding of 1 point perspective by  drawing of 3-5 shapes with accurate angles


Directions

  1. Horizon Line and Vanishing Point:  Students will draw a horizon line in the middle of the paper and place 1 vanishing point, on the center or one of the ends of the line 

  2. Shapes:  Students will then draw a shape (square, rectangle, triangle, circle, etc) above, below, or crossing the horizon line. 

  3. Orthogonal Lines:  Next students will draw lines from the top and bottom of the corners of the shapes towards the vanishing point.

  4. Parallel Line: Draw a parallel line between the 2 diagonal lines, mimicking the side and top/bottom of the shape used for the drawing.  

  5. Erase: Erase the extra lines to see your composition.

Tips

Students can also watch the video I posted on Canvas under modules. That video will show them how to draw basic shapes from a 2 points perspective.   Video
