LESSON 1
Starter: What is PERSPECTIVE?
“the art of representing three-dimensional objects on a
two-dimensional surface so as to give the right impression of their
height, width, depth, and position in relation to each other.”
CHIAROSCURO
In one-point perspective, all lines converge to a single vanishing point on
the horizon line.
Vanishing point

Choose a lightsource and add shading
EXTENSION:
Add some of your own irregular forms, using
the same process
LESSON 2
2-point perspective
Starter: Compare the perspective of these 2
photographs
In two-point perspective, all lines converge to two vanishing points on the
horizon line.
LO: Can I apply perspective drawing techniques to draw a 2 point perspective drawing?
Step 1
Turn your book landscape. Draw a
horizon line using a ruler across your
page Step 3
Step 2 Position your phone in front of you. Draw the nearest
corner of your phone then add in perspective lines.
Choose 2 vanishing points

LO: Can I apply perspective drawing techniques to draw a 2 point perspective drawing?
Step 4
Add in more perspective lines to include
finer details i.e. apps, camera, charging
port.
Step 5
Once you have completed the outline
and details, add some shading or colour
