WEEK 1 - 1 Point Perspective
This week we will be reminding ourselves of our 1 point perspective drawing skills.
One point perspective is a drawing method that shows how things appear to get smaller as they get further away, drawing towards a single ‘vanishing point’ on the horizon line. It is a way of drawing objects that look three-dimensional and realistic. It is a popular drawing method with architects, illustrators and designers.
Follow the video and practice your 1 point perspective drawing. Use whatever materials you have, be creative and enjoy building on your drawing and communication skills.
Attach your work into your S1 Design and Technology Classroom
This weeks task is to practice your drawing ability. It is important to be able to design, sketch and explore ideas quickly and effectively. Practice is vital here. Please send your finished designs to your teachers via email or classrooms so we can upload them to student showcase. Most importantly, have fun and be creative.
