 One Point Perspective - Linda D. 01-23-26

 

Art Activity for January 23, 2026

 

“One Point Perspective”

 

In this activity I will explain how to draw basic forms using a single

vanishing point.Then we will design the interior of a room.

 

Materials Needed:

 

> PENCIL with sharp point or mechanical pencil

> RULER

> ERASER (one that will not smudge graphite)

 

> PAPER(Several sheets needed for practice.

Since there may be a lot of erasing a heavier paper

will work well or even card-stock.)

 

Optional: For the finished drawing you may add color with any media or

you may just work with pencil.

 

There are two attachments.

> The first one:

a.Gives a definition of linear perspective.

( It says it is a mathematical technique.

Rest assured we will not be doing any math.)

b.Shows a simple diagram.

c. Gives a you-tube link to a demonstration.

We will not be duplicating what is done in the demo.

You will learn a variety of ways to break up space

in a room.

 

>The second attachment shows a small sampling

of works using one point perspective.

 

During our zoom session you can follow along with me in

creating a room interior.I will show you a variety of options.

Or you can work independently to use perspective in a less traditional manner.

 

Looking forward to exploring the “third dimension” with you.

PS - The Second Attachment will come in a separate email.
