Activity 2: Drawing a Room in Perspective

• Take an A4/A3 sheet and turn it to landscape position (horizontal)
   
• Draw a diagonal line joining the top left corner with the bottom right and the top right to the bottom left
   
• Draw a horizontal line across the top and then drop a vertical line. Repeat this on the other side creating a rectangle
   
• Rub out the line in the middle but don’t rub out the vanishing point*
  
   
• Use the vanishing point to draw windows and doors in perspective
  
   

*Vanishing point: the point where all of the perspective (diagonal) lines meet. It is the point toward which receding parallel lines appear to converge.
