I have had several emails about how to do the One point perspective paintings from this post, http://www.elementaryartfun.blogspot.com/search/label/One%20Point%20Perspective
so I have written the steps for this drawing.
I would suggest, the bigger paper, the better.
Before you begin, be sure to show students many images to get them excited and print a variety of photos to inspire creativity!
1. Begin with the horizon line in the middle (please excuse my very crooked lines!!! pencil did not photograph well, so I had to redraw some lines with my computer mouse)

2. Draw a dot in the middle (vanishing point) and make an “X” from corner to corner (or close enough) passing through the dot

3.draw the sidewalks first from the vanishing point
4. Draw the trees starting on the bottom on the “X” all the way to the vanishing point, descending towards the middle. Tell them to draw organic shaped trees, not round Que-tip lollypop trees! Make sure the trees are straight and parallel to the side of the paper. Watch students for this before they spend 20 minutes drawing 8 beautiful but very leaning trees and have to erase all of them!

5. This is the lingo I use to teach the buildings, We all say, “One, straight out, two diagonal down, three, straight down to the ground, four straight down again, and five, bring it in along the side!”

6. When I show them the windows we start with the side with the door facing the street.
The lines on the tops and bottoms of the windows ABOVE the horizon line are parallel to the top part of the “X”…….below that, when you PASS the Horizon line, the lines on the tops and bottoms of the windows are parallel to the BOTTOM part of the “X” which is now the sidewalk. The top of the door is also parallel to the sidewalk.
below: RED parallel to RED and BLUE parallel to BLUE
The windows on the OTHER side of the house are normal right angle squares or rectangles.

7. Now erase the “X” and the parts of the horizon line that overlap the trees and buildings

8. finish windows and add details. Some students made it into a river instead of a road. Now that the basic foundation is drawn, the possibilities for creativity are ENDLESS!!
Cars, trucks, planes, restaurants, people, bridges, parades, parks, pedestrians, lights, etc, etc

Oh, thank you SO much. Perspective is my weakness but I feel confident to try it again.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Natalie...you are the best!!!!!
Needs more bleach
Deleteno she does not
DeleteMy mommy said i need friends:(
DeleteThis is BEAUTIFUL!!
DeleteI can finally engage my students to try 1 point perspective!
Thank You so much!!
shutup stupid people
Deleteit's hard but i think it will be good when i finish it though.

DeleteThis project looks so great--I've been struggling to find a perspective project that would engage all my students (beyond doing block letters). What age range does it seem to work best with? I know my younger students would struggle, but 3rd-6th would probably be OK. What have you found?
ReplyDeleteAWESOME! Thank you for posting this. It's such a great way to show students how to do 1pt perspective. I just did a lesson similar with my 5th graders but many struggled and it took longer than it should have. Next time I will be following your lead on it!
ReplyDeleteGreat job!
This was SO helpful in teaching my 7 year olds perspective. Thanks for a great post!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWhat age group did these paintings? I am fairly new and I don't want to overwhelm. They are great!
ReplyDeleteI'm digging this, I never thought about doing a perspective unit without using rulers! I am going to adapt this to a project I do with 4th graders every year, thanks!
ReplyDeletei want someone to teach me how to shade a one point perspective
ReplyDeleteme too
DeleteYa!!!!!!! SAME
Deleteyes
DeleteNO I WILL CONTACT THEM TO SHUT IT DOWN
Delete>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((
Why aren't you introducing the ruler with the pencil to get students to make more crisp lines? You can introduce 360 degrees and add math to this lesson.
ReplyDeleteI just taught my sixth graders how to draw 1 point perspective using this. They were skeptical at first but now they love it and we're now working on our own 'world' images. I'm not very talented in the art realm so this was great because I could teach them a harder concept in a very simple way!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to follow your blog so I can stay on top of all 'tutorial' posts you do!

ReplyDeleteit helped in my project, i was so nervous how to draw thankyou
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great post! My girls and I just did this lesson today :) Here's a link to how theirs turned out: http://twocowgirls.blogspot.com/2014/01/new-year-new-ideas.html
ReplyDeleteI had such a lot of fun today teaching this lesson as you suggest, with a group of year 4/5 children. They were thrilled with the results, as was I. Thank you very much for posting this!
ReplyDeleteGreat explanation. But, I prefer videos, found this video tutorial - learn to use one point perspective to add realistic three dimensionality to drawings - http://www.jerrysartarama.com/art-lessons/Artists/John-Hitselberger/John-Hitselberger-One-Point-Perspective.html
ReplyDeleteI did that in school with my great friends and we all did a terrific job THANK YOU for the idea
ReplyDeleteNO THIS IS THE WORST WESITE I HAD A PANIC ATTACK OF HOW HARD IT IS >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>:::::::::::::::::::(((((((((((((
DeletePerspective specially matters when drawing 3D arts. Just like the street that is shown in this drawings the view port should be in the middle showing the different elevations of the art.
ReplyDeleteRegards,
shalin@ creately
Cool art
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great post! You have simplified a potentially overwhelming concept for our young artists! I am working with 4th grade with this one point perspective, ironically, I wanted to create a Venetian scene! At first, the kids' struggle frightened me so I turned to the art blog world for help. So when I came across your post it not only helped, but the fact that your kiddos also did Italy- really confirmed this is the "now" lesson for us :) Thank you for all you do- your work is appreciated!!!
ReplyDeleteFantastic articles is post by you in this blog. You give a nice thing. Thank you for such a nice article. Every word of this blog helps me to give detail to me.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for these clear directions! I have now used this project 3 years in a row with my 5th grade classes. We do them for Halloween, and they make spooky trees, cracked buildings, and add ghost, zombie, and spider details. We figured out how to make a fence, benches, and even gravestones using perspective! The kids absolutely love it, and we get so many compliments when the finished products are hanging up in our classroom.
ReplyDeleteWow that was unusual. I just wrote an extremely long comment but after I clicked submit my comment didn't show up. Grrrr... well I'm not writing all that over again. Anyway, just wanted to say fantastic post! Eincher.me

The perspective is not correct on the windows. The vertical lines are correct, they should be parallel to each other, but the tops and bottoms of the window lines should connect to the vanishing point.
ReplyDeleteUnless the objects in the image are tipping over... Leaning Tower... As far as the windows, another thoughtful point. Yes they typically will be trapezoidal as the top and bottom should converge toward the vanishing point (not connect to the VP) and follow the lines that converge to the VP, also known as orthogonal lines.
