Perspective Drawings
A perspective drawing offers the most realistic three-dimensional view of all the pictorial methods, because it portrays the object in a manner that is most similar to how the human eye perceives the visual world.

One-Point Perspective
The one-point perspective is relatively simple to make, but is somewhat awkward in appearance when compared to other types of pictorials.
A horizontal line, representing the horizon, is drawn across the upper portion of the paper. One vanishing point is identified somewhere on the horizon line.
Students should understand the concept of setting up the horizon line and vanishing point.

One-Point Perspective
A horizontal line, representing the horizon, is drawn across the upper portion of the paper. One vanishing point is identified somewhere on the horizon line.
A series of lines are drawn from distinctive points outlining the object being constructed.
The end result looks like the next slide.
It is not as important the proper location of horizon line or vanishing point, as long as they are located in the upper portion of the sheet which you are sketching on. The objective of this part of the lesson is that students understand what a perspective sketch is.

Two-Point Perspective
The two-point perspective is the most common perspective drawing.
A step-by-step procedure will be explained for the perspective.
Two-point is the most common method and one students will understand more. In the Activity that accompanies this PowerPoint, you may want students to do two-point for the final problem.

A horizontal line, representing the horizon, is drawn across the upper portion of the paper. Two vanishing points are then identified, one on either end of the horizon line.

Two-Point Perspective
A horizontal line, representing the horizon, is drawn across the upper portion of the paper. Two vanishing points are then identified, one on either end of the horizon line.
A vertical construction line is drawn, which represents the overall height of the object. Two points are marked on this line, which represent a top and bottom corner of “the box” within which the object will be sketched.

4. Points and vertical construction lines are drawn to represent the overall width and depth of the object. Their locations must be estimated to make the overall dimensions of “the box” appear proportional. Once properly located, construction lines are drawn from the top points to the vanishing points on the horizon line.
