16-Nov | Week 12
Two Point Perspective & Repeating Forms
Warm up Activity:
- Choose a view i nthe classroom with overlapping forms where you can apply perspective as a tool to show depth.
- First sketch the composition as a thumbnail drawing. (You’ll have 10 minutes to complete the final drawing.)
- Then create a 10 minute drawing.

- Group Critique : Ellipses in Perspective Assignment Drawings
How successful were we? Did we create the Illusion of Depth?
What strategies to create depth did we combine with 1 point perspective?
REVISE HW DRAWINGS
- TWO POINT PERSPECTIVE
How do we turn an ellipse into a 3-d form effectively? : Using the Rectangluar Prism as a base form.
Introduction to two point perspective
- Frame your picture plane.
- Draw your Horizon Line.
- Choose 2 vanishing points.
- Rule lines to that vanishing point.
- Draw parallel vertical lines to form objects.
- Draw a Building from Two Point Perspective. (15 min)
Beginning with a rectangular prism as a base shape, draw a unique and detailed building. Give the building an identity. Is this your dream home? A futuristic university? A castle or fort? Use realistic shapes and forms, and objects you can study in the room to create a sense of realism. Avoid drawing characters. Stick to objects, landscapes, and architecture.
- Patterns and Repeating forms in 1 point and 2 point perspective
- Draw a Chessboard on the Black Board in Teams (15 min)
- Draw a Room with a Checkerboard Floor (15 min)
