One Point Perspective

1. What is One Point
Perspective?
A form of linear perspective in
which all lines appear to meet at a
single vanishing point on the
horizon.

2. One Point Perspective Needs…
• Horizon Line—imaginary place where
the earth and sky seem to meet.
• Vanishing Point—the spot in a picture
at which all the lines meet.

3. Vocabulary to Know
• Geometric Shapes- Mathematical or precise shapes
(square, triangle, rectangle, octagon…)
• Parallel Lines- lines that are the same distance
apart and will never meet or intersect.
• Space- the area around, above, between, below, or
inside an object (overlapping will be used to show space in this project).
• Emphasis- the sense of importance given to any
one part of the composition (you may want to emphasis particular
shapes so they stand out).
