1. Two Point Perspective
Designing a city scape

2. What is Perspective?
The appearance of objects in depth as perceived by normal binocular vision.
It allows us to show/draw things as they actually appear in life
As things get closer to us they get larger
As things get further away from us, they get smaller
It’s a tool that allows us to do this

3. How does this apply to the Elemetns of art?
In a two point perspective drawing, you will use line and shape (in the drawing alone). Later we will add textures and color as well
Remember all art use the Elements of art
Line, shape, texture, value, color, line and form.
You can use them by themselves or in combination.

4. There are two techniques
One point perspective and two point perspective
All show a horizon line and a vanishing point

5. One Point Perspective
This has a vanishing point (ONE) and a horizon line.
To draw one-point perspective, we arrange our subject so that one set of lines has a vanishing point right in front of us

6. One point perspective drawing
This is a box, drawn using one point perspective
This is what your paper would look like, to the left.

7. Two Point Perspective
Building showing two-point perspective. You can see two sides, right? This is the technique you use, when you see two sides of a building.
In perspective drawing, every set of parallel lines has its own vanishing point.

8. This is your paper, you have two vanishing points!

9. A box in two point perspective.
