-Illusion of Space

​

Supply List: 

-12 by 18 inch white paper

-Paper

-Pencil

-Eraser

-18 Inch Ruler 

-Black Sharpie (ultra fine)

-Colored Pencils

 

Alternative Supply List: 

-If you do not have a 12 by 18 inch white paper you can use a different sized white 

  paper, colored paper, newspaper, etc.

-If you do not have a black sharpie you can use a black marker. If you don’t have 

  either then skip this step. 

-If you do not have colored pencils use another form of coloring material such as 

  crayons, markers, etc. 

-If you do not have a 18 inch ruler use a 12 inch ruler (standard size). Preferably you 

  should use a ruler that is the size of the longest edge of your paper so with an 12 by 

  18 inch paper it is ideal to use an 18 inch ruler. If you do not have a ruler then use 

  something with a straight edge like a piece of wood, a book, a frame, etc.

​

Overview: 

During this project you will create a cityscape with the illusion of space by using the rules of one point perspective. One point perspective drawings are created using a horizon line, vanishing point, horizon lines, vertical lines, and diagonal lines. Learn how to create below and above eye level buildings as well as windows, doors, roads, and more.
