During this class, students will learn how to create their very own one-point perspective art to communicate the illusion of space and depth. One point perspective is a drawing method that shows how things appear to get smaller as they get further away, converging towards a single ‘vanishing point’ on the horizon line. It is a way of drawing objects upon a flat piece of paper so that they look three-dimensional and realistic. We will discuss all the different elements of linear perspective like the horizon line, vanishing point and foreground/middle ground/background. Finally, we will outline our drawing with a marker and if there's time, they can color their artwork using their choice of markers, crayons or colored pencils.

As the teacher, I will guide the students step-by-step through each process and draw alongside them. In the materials section below, you can find everything that you will need for this class.
