L-8 ONE POINT PERSPECTIVE SHAPES

Perspective is the appearance to the eye of objects in respect to their relative distance and positions.

Perspective gives our drawings a 3-D (three dimensional) appearance.  

The farther away something is, the smaller it appears and has less detail.  It also appears nearer the top of the page. Imagine yourself standing on the side of a road, a car is coming toward you from a long distance away.  As the car gets nearer, it looks bigger and more colorful. Closer objects will be larger, with more detail, and closer to the bottom of the page.  The second grade start with pre-cut shapes, color with crayons and then color a lighter shade in the visual.
