Objective By the end of today's lesson you will
be able to draw a 3D form in one point
perspective.
What will we be doing today? All students will
have produced a single 3D cube accurately
correctly using one point perspective.   Most
students will have used light construction lines
to produce drawing.   Some students will have
produced more complex forms such as a prism or a
tube.
Homework Using the workbook as a guide, draw
another 3D form using one point
perspective.

Perspective Drawing
Perspective drawing can use one, two or three
vanishing points. One-point perspective is often
used for room interiors. Two-point perspective
has many applications for developing ideas in
3D. . The advantage of perspective drawing is
that it makes objects appear more realistic, as
objects appear to get smaller as their distance
from the observer increases.

What is Perspective
Perspective drawings use vanishing points to give
the illusion of depth. Drawings can use 1 / 2 or
even 3 vanishing points to create this illusion.
How many vanishing points does this drawing have?

How our eyes see the world.

• Parallel lines converge towards a single point on
  the horizon.

• As things go away from us they appear to get
  smaller.

• As things go away from us they appear to get
  closer together.

One Point Perspective Drawing

• The cube opposite is drawn with one vanishing
  point and as a result the front face is
  completely visible with remaining sides slowly
  fading toward the back edges

Stage 1 Drawing the Front Face
Using very light lines with either a HB or a 2H
pencil draw a grid (see diagram) make sure that
all of the lines are parallel. Make sure that the
box that you have drawn in the centre of the grid
is perfectly square.

Stage 2 Identify the Vanishing Point
Vanishing Point
Identify the position of the vanishing point with
a small x. Using construction lines join each of
the corners of the Front Face to the centre of
the vanishing point.

Stage 3 Decide how Deep your Form will be.
Carefully draw in the back edges of your form.
Make sure that the lines are parallel to the
sides of the front face.

Stage 4 Complete your 1 Point Perspective
Drawing
Using a HB pencil, draw in all of the remaining
edges of the 3D form. Use a Plastic Eraser to
remove the construction lines and complete the
drawing.

Success of Lesson
Good.
Improvement Notes
Worked well. Pupils struggled with the concept of
drawing a line parallel with another. Good work
completed by all.
