Perspective in Drawing and Beyond

Students explore using a one-point perspective in their drawings. Specifically, this project will expose students to a linear perspective. Linear perspective uses lines to make objects appear to take up space and form in a flat work. Students will use a one-point perspective to create an illusion of space in a two-dimensional space and will then discuss concepts of perspective both inside and outside of the visual arts.

• Use linear perspective to create illusion of space/form in 2-D picture

• Experiment with one point perspective and create unique images

This unit has a creativity and critical thinking focus:

• Create visual art in a personally novel manner

• Make connections to ideas about perspective inside and outside of the visual arts 

• Reflect on the importance of perspective and steps taken to create a visual arts piece

Examples from online images that use one-point and two-point perspective (these can be found by searching for “one-point perspective examples” or “two-point perspective examples”)
