Task 1 – one point perspective 1. Draw a light horizontal line across your page. 2. Draw an X in the middle of this line. This part is called the vanishing point. 3. Draw 3 squares. On above the line, one on the line and one below. Use a pencil and rule to do this. X 4. From every corner that doesn’t go into the shape, draw back to the vanishing point with a straight line (construction line). 5. Draw a parallel line between each construction line to cap off the side. This will make the 3 D shape. Complete the other 2 shapes.

Perspective example Vanishing Point Horizon Line All parts of this image go back to the vanishing point from the train line to the tops of the trees. We know the train tracks do not come to a sharp point in the distance but our eyes make it look like they do.
