A2- Two-Point Perspective

BIG IDEA - Guiding Question

Space is the relationship between objects, the viewer, and the environment.

How can I use Space to map the distance between the places I lived and who I am today?

VA:Cr2.1.7a (Creating – Organize and Develop Artistic Ideas and Work)

Standard:
Demonstrate persistence in developing skills with various materials, methods, and approaches in creating works of art or design.

Objective:

Students will apply two-point perspective techniques by constructing a drawing that uses a horizon line and two vanishing points to accurately create the illusion of three-dimensional form and spatial depth. 

How it works:

• 1. Establish the Horizon Line and Vanishing Points:
  Start by drawing a horizontal line and placing two vanishing points on it. 

• 2. Draw a Vertical Line:
  Choose a point on the page and draw a vertical line. This line represents the corner of your object. 

• 3. Connect to Vanishing Points:
  Draw lines from the top and bottom of the vertical line to each of the vanishing points. 

• 4. Define the Object's Edges:
  Draw vertical lines to define the width and depth of your object. These lines should be parallel to each other and to the first vertical line. 

• 5. Erase Construction Lines:
  Remove any unnecessary construction lines to reveal your finished two-point perspective drawing.
