Perspective Drawing

Description: Firstly, we studied M.C. Escher and the patterns and perspectives he used for his art. Secondly, we marked a point at the center of the paper, which served as the focus point. Then, we drew eight squares or rectangles around the paper; four were on one side and four on the other side. By using a ruler, we drew lines connecting the corners of each square/rectangle to the focus point, making them seem as if they were popping out and making the drawing appear three-dimensional. The shapes were then outlined, and lines were drawn using a Sharpie pen. The third step involved coloring the shapes using patterns that were our ideas, as well as following two patterns drawn on the board. We drew the patterns using a Sharpie pen after completing them. The last step was coloring the patterns using oil pastels.

Extension Activity- Another project based on perspective drawing would be a cityscape drawing where students would be required to use one-point perspective technique to create a city. Students should use their knowledge about horizon line and vanishing point when creating this project by drawing buildings, streets, and pavements that go into the background. The city should also contain additional elements like windows, street signs, cars, and pedestrians. Such an assignment will help students develop skills related to depth perception and space representation while providing opportunity to design a unique city.
