Two-Point Perspective

After studying the techniques of two-point perspective earlier in the year, the seventh grade students selected a photo of a building and used it as reference for their two-point perspective drawing. Many students chose favorite places on Google Maps to draw, some chose interesting, far-away places, and others chose to document their home street corners. Some students struggled at first, each coming to their “Ah-ha” moment at different points in the project. Once the technical process was understood, the students really dug in, adding light, shadows, and surrounding architectural and natural elements that brought their locations alive.
