Vocabulary

p Horizon line: where the sky meets the

ground, a horizontal line

p Vanishing point: the place where all lines

meet or vanish, it is located on the

horizon line

p Horizontal line: a line that goes left to

right, it is parallel to the horizon line

More Vocabulary

p Vertical line: a line that goes up and down,

it is perpendicular to the horizon line

p Orthogonal line: lines that create the

sides of an object in one point perspective,

these lines are drawn to the vanishing point

p Surrealism: something that is real, but

wouldnt occur in reality

Lets get started

p Draw a horizon line

across your paper

p

Put two vanishingpoints on the horizon

line, one on both sides

of your paper

6/23

Now draw a vertical line through the middle

of your paper

7/31/2019 Two Point Perspective-1

7/23

Connect the top and bottom of the vertical line to

both of the vanishing points. We are creating the

orthogonal lines.

8/23

Now end the form with two vertical lines on

each side.

9/23

Erase the extra orthogonal lines at the top and the

horizon line inside of the form.

DO YOU SEE YOUR FIRST BUILDING?

Lets try another one!

Start with a vertical line on the left side of the

building.

7/31/2019 Two Point Perspective-1

11/23

Connect the top and bottom to

each vanishing point.

End the building with a vertical line.

7/31/2019 Two Point Perspective-1

13/23

Erase the extra orthogonal lines and horizon

line inside of the building.

Lets do another one!

15/23

Now for doors and windows!Start with a vertical line and connect it to the

vanishing point.

7/31/2019 Two Point Perspective-1

16/23

If your window or door is on the left side of your

building, connect the vertical lines to the left

vanishing point. The same goes for the right side.

17/23

End the windows and doors with another

vertical line.

18/23

Erase the extra orthogonal lines.

Surrealism

p Something that is real, but wouldnt occur in

reality

EXAMPLES:n a rabbit hole in the sidewalk

n a building made of cheese

n a penguin living in a palm tree
