Over the next few lessons we will be learning how to draw one point perspective. Eventually we will be making a picture that will be inspired by Lowry’s
cityscape pictures.
• Lesson 4
• Watch the YouTube clip and have a go at drawing boxes, so that they look 3D, if possible use plain paper.
Lesson 5, 6 and 7LO: To learn how to draw using One Point Perspective
1. Watch the YouTube clip2.Get a sharp pencil a ruler and a rubber and a piece of paper (ideally plain paper)3. Do what the clip tells you to do, you may need to stop it and start it many times.4. Finish and add colour to the picture (water colours and water colour pencils work well, but you can use whatever you have available), you do not have to copy the detail but can make it your own picture towards the end, e.g. change the shop signs, the radio active goo, the whale!
