One-Point Perspective

Teaching students the process of one-point perspective is one of our state and local objectives.  This can be a difficult task to accomplish.  Well, here we go! 



The Renaissance period easily lends itself to help explain this great artistic discovery. Above is Leonardo Da Vinci's The Last Supper, which is a great tool to show not only linear perspective, but also the emphasis of the artwork. We also looked at several photographs that showed perspective.

On day one we all began by using perspective to draw our main shapes/buildings.  Day two was spent adding details, such as windows, traffic signals, etc.  Sharpies were used for contrast and finally the skies were cut away.  The completed art was attached to construction paper.
