One Point Perspective- Landscapes

Now that our students are pros at creating one point perspective, they will begin to sketch a landscape drawing that is constructed in one point perspective. Knowing that our students are incredibly creative and imaginative, I decided that these landscapes can be as realistic or as fictional as they would like. Some students opted to stay in the realm of creating a landscape that consists of things they see in real life, others decided to create historical themes they are studying in their other classes and some others decided to use cartoon characters and very fictional subjects as the basis of their landscapes. The only limitation they has was that everything needs to be in one point perspective. We reviewed the artists like Leonardo Divinci, who used one point perspective in his works and the students were also told to take note of when they are driving or walking down the street of how the different buildings and such look around them and then how they look way further away from them. Once their drawing is complete, the students will outline them in black sharpie and paint in their objects using water color.
