Do Now:
Complete your 1 point perspective drawing
handout. Must be submitted today.
You have 10 minutes to complete

2. +
Look at the image above,
How many vanishing points does it have?

3. +
How are two point perspective
drawings created?

4. +
Instructional Objectives:
•  Define two point perspective.
•  Define the terms horizon line,
vanishing point and orthogonal line.
•  Create a 2 point perspective drawing.

5. +Define: Perspective
• Perspective: a technique of depicting
volumes and spatial relationships on a flat
surface.

6. +Perspective
• Two-Point Perspective: lines look like they are meeting at
two points on the horizon line.

Steps in creating a 2 point
perspective drawing
Horizon Line: The
line in a perspective
drawing where the
sky meets the
ground.
It also represents the
viewer’s eye level.

10. +
Steps in creating a 2 point
perspective drawing
Vanishing Point: The
point on the horizon
line at which lines or
edges that are parallel
appear to converge.

11. +
Steps in creating a 2 point
perspective drawing
Orthogonal Line: It
is the line you draw
from the corner of an
object to the
vanishing point.
It establishes the
illusion of a
perpendicular line
going into the
distance.

Summary Questions:
•  What is the definition of two point
perspective.
•  Define the terms horizon line,
vanishing point and orthogonal line.
•  List the steps needed to create a 2
point perspective drawing.

IMMEDIATE APPLICATION
• 
Create a 2 point perspective cityscape using the handout.
• 
Use the diagrams on the handout to help complete the drawing.
• 
Be sure to create and label your horizon line and vanishing
point.
• 
Your FINAL drawing should include as many details (in
perspective) as possible.
• 
Include at least:
• 
4 Buildings
• 
Windows (in at least 2 buildings)
• 
Doors
