We begin with a drawing warm up exercise (10 minutes) 5 cubes and 5 cylinders in various positions. We will repeat this exercise every week to get a sense of our comfort level with this type of drawing.
The goal is to get familiar with the fundamental concepts of one point perspective but in a very elementary way. To really understand the basic elements that make this illusion work - we break it down to the simplest but key terms and draw simple exercises that show clearly what they are.
Picture Plane
Point of View
Horizon line
Vanishing Point
Orthogonal lines
Once we reach this point - the sky is the limit. We can now begin to apply these principles plus the understanding of other perspective elements such as size, overlap, value and position to create new arrangements and complete One point perspective drawings.
