Content objective

Students will be able to understand and apply the concept of one-point


perspective in art, creating drawings that show depth and distance by using a
single vanishing point.

Language Objective
Students will develop their ability to describe and explain their
artwork using vocabulary related to one-point perspective,
such as "vanishing point," "horizon line," and "depth," both
verbally and in written form.
What is Perspective Drawing?

Perspective drawing
brings two dimensional
drawings and paintings
to life.

Perspective drawings
make 2D objects
appear three
dimensional.

This makes the picture


more realistic as it
appears to get further
away.
One-Point Perspective
A one-point perspective drawing means that the lines of
perspective will eventually meet at one point.

This point is
called the
vanishing point.

This is usually
directly in front of
the viewers eye.

One-point
perspective is
often used to
draw street
scenes, roads
and rail tracks.
The Horizon Line
The horizon line represents
where the sky meets the
land or sea in a picture.

This line is important to


remember as the vanishing
point will often sit on the
horizon line.

Typically it is in line with the


viewers eye level.
Examples

Think about where your eye is


drawn to…

Key Points
• Shapes that face the viewer are
drawn in accurate form.

• Shapes that travel into the distance


follow the perspective lines in the
direction of the vanishing point.

• A ruler will help mark out accurate


guidelines.

Think about what Ade might see outside his flat
window. Draw your very own one point
perspective drawing.

Handy tips
•Use a ruler to draw faint guidelines to show the
vanishing point, horizon line and lines of
perspective.
•Think carefully about your image-are you going to
draw a range of buildings (tower blocks, shops,
shared gardens, roads, collapsed buildings)?
•Watch the video to see what you should draw
first-the horizon, the vanishing point, the
largest object in your drawing?
