Lesson ObjectiveTo be able to draw basic shapes in

one and two point perspective

ALL pupils will be able to draw a cube in one and two-point perspective

MOST pupils will be able to draw a cube and a cross in one-point perspective

SOME pupils will independently be able to draw a cube, cross and lettering in one and two point perspective

TASK: Draw a cube in one-point perspective.


perspective

1. Draw a line across the middle of your page - this will

be your horizon

2. In the centre put a small dot or cross

to show the vanishing point

3. Draw the front view of a cube

4. From each corner take a light line to

the vanishing point.

5. Decide on the depth of your cube

then draw horizontal and vertical parallel

lines

6. Add thick and thin lines and rub out your unwanted

construction lines.

Two-point perspective shows objects edge-on.Two-point perspective

shows objects edge-on.

It uses two vanishing points NOT one!

It uses two vanishing points NOT one!

WHY USE IT? It gives a more realistic view of

an object or product.

TASK: Draw a cube in two-point perspective.


perspective

1. Draw a line across the middle of your page - this will

be your horizon

2. Draw in two vanishing points

3. Draw one side of your cube - using projection lines to

one vanishing point

4. Draw in the other side - once again using projection

lines

5. Draw two projection lines to

the vanishings point for the base - draw

in the outlines

6. Add thick and thin lines and rub out your unwanted

construction lines.

Explore what happenswhen you place your

cube above, below and on the horizon line!

TASK: Draw a cross in one-point perspective

EXTENSION: Draw a letter in one or two-point perspective

then add tonal shading to it.

What is the vanishing point?

What is the horizon?

What is the difference between one and

two point perspective?

On your mini white board write down the answers to the three questions

below

The point or points at which all lines in a perspective drawing meet

The line on which most vanishing points sit - usually where the sky

meets the land

One-point only has one vanishing point. Two-point is more realistic and has two vanishing points.

HOMEWORKComplete page 28 from your AQA Exam practice booklet

Match the image with correct description You have 4 mins!

Horizon line

The line on which

most vanishing points

sit (usually where the

sky meets the land)

Vanishing points (two-

point perspective)

The point or points at which

all lines in a perspective

drawing meet

QuickTime™ and aH.264 decompressor

are needed to see this picture.

Vanishing point (one-point perspective) The point or points at

which all lines in a perspective drawing meet

Vanishing points (two-point perspective) The point or points at which

all lines in a perspective drawing meet

Horizon line The line on which most vanishing points sit (usually where the sky

meets the land)

Construction lines Faint lines that aid the construction of your drawings. Usually rubbed out at

the end.

TASK1. Using the handout as a guide create a 2 point perspective house (the outside).

2. Add details to your work, such as trees, windows and pathways.

3. Add rendering and enhancement techniques such as textures and tonal shading to improve your work.

perspectiveTASK: Draw a room in two-point

perspective.

1. Draw a line across the middle of

your page

2. Mark in two vanishing points at the end of each line

3. Draw a vertical line in the centre of

the horizon



perspective.

1. Draw two diagonal lines from your VPs to meet

the end of the centre line

2. Mark a dot at the 40mm point on the

centre line

40mm

3. Draw construction lines from your VPs

to the new mark



perspective.

1. Go over your construction lines to mark on the celling and the corner of

the room

2. Draw two construction lines from your VPs to

the base of your corner of your room

3. Press over these lines with a pencil to

draw in the floor



perspective.

1. Rub out your construction lines

2. Draw in windows and doors -

remember to take the lines from the

VPs!
