Thoughts from renowned Canadian artist, the Picasso of the North, Norval Morrisseau:
(Massacio - profile portraits)
Polygon Pics
(extension - with mixed media)Drawing a landscape in one point perspective.
Students start by drawing a horizon line and vanishing point.
Next they draw a road going off in the distance and sidewalk next to that road.
Finally they draw guidelines for the tops and bottoms of trees to be drawn along the sides of the road. Everything is drawn using guidelines toward the vanishing point so that everything gets consistently smaller thus creating an illusion of depth.
For older students you could make your drawings stronger by shading and blending colors to use atmospheric perspective in addition to the linear perspective.
