One-Point Perspective- (DRAFTING)

Introduction

 

 "Even in certain kinds of impressionism, one can more or less imply perspective, but when you paint realistically, perspective has to be perfect."   - (Daniel E. Greene)          

      Introduction   

           This contains everything a student needs to know about drawing in one point perspective. The material is suitable for middle and high school students, as well as any other person who wishes to learn how to draw using single point perspective. It is written for those with no prior experience with perspective, beginning with basic concepts, before working towards more complex three-dimensional forms.

Task

Objectives

At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:

a). Define one-point perspective

b). Differentiate one-point perspective to two point perspective

c). Value its use through using it in other subjects

d). Draw anything using one-point perspective view

My Expectations

            After the demonstration, and discussion I expect to students to draw the given activity. They are expected to draw anything that is suitable to draw using the one-point perspective view. And as a student they can apply to other field areas what they have learn to this topic.

Process

Nature of The Lesson

One Point Perspective- is a type of linear perspective that uses a single vanishing point to create the illusion of depth in a work of art.There are several methods of linear perspective, but one-point is a single point perspective and is the simplest.

One point perspective assumes the flat, facing planes of objects have no depth but the sides and edges leading away from the viewer have depth.  The artist need only decide the vertical and horizontal measurements of each form and connect them to a single vanishing point.  This will create an illusion of depth on paper.

Vanishing Point - A point on the horizon line where all perspective lines meet.

Parallel – Parallel lines are lines that never touch… even if they are extended indefinitely.

Horizontal Lines – Lines drawn from side to side level with the horizon.  Horizontal lines will be parallel the top and bottom edges of your paper.

Vertical Lines – Lines drawn up and down and perpendicular (right-angled) to the horizon.  Vertical lines should be parallel to the sides of your paper.

The materials to be used are:

  Pencil, Coupon Bond, Ruler, Compass, Slide rule, Drawing Board, T-square

Procedure of the activity

1. Prepare materials such as coupon bond, pencil, ruler, compass, and T-square

2. Provide a picture of a building standing straight

3. Let the students analyze/ critique how to draw it in one-point perspective view

4. Give enough time for them to sketch first ;

5. then draw and finished their output

Conclusion

               After the activity, I found out that the students need more time expending to draw mechanically the building using the one-point perspective view.

  • In order for students to draw fast, give assignments/ homework related to the lesson. Letting them practice
  • While the demonstration, be sure that they understand every step before going/ proceeding to next one. And be sure to ask a question if they really understand what is being thought.
  • This type of mechanical drawing can be applied to any areas/ subjects which it adds creativity and uniqueness on the drawing.
