Horizon Line/ Eye-Level Line Vanishing Point Where the sky and earth meet; OR eye level. Vanishing Point ALWAYS on the horizon line. Only one point in one-point perspective drawing. Represents the farthest distance from the viewer. The point where all objects “vanish”. Steps to drawing your name in one-point perspective: Find the middle of your name and the middle of your paper. LIGHTLY draw a horizon line. LIGHTLY draw the vanishing point somewhere ON the horizon line. LIGHTLY draw guidelines between which your name will sit. HOLLY Write out the letters of your INITIALS in BLOCK form, centering it on the paper. Draw the orthogonal lines from each corner of the letters to the vanishing point. Draw the back sides and bottoms/ tops of the letters, making the lines PARALLEL to the ones on the front of the letters.

Names drawn in Two-Point Perspective

INSTRUCTIONS Use hole punch to punch holes up the right and left sides (NOT the folded or top open edge). Lace up the right and left sides with yarn and secure so they won’t come undone. Side ONE: Free-style decorate. Side TWO: YOUR NAME using the Linear Perspective technique. ADDITIONAL 3 OBJECTS drawn in Linear Perspective. Add color.
