One-point perspective is a drawing method that shows howthings appear getting smaller as they go further back into thedistance, meeting at a ‘vanishing point’ on the ‘horizon line’.This technique helps make drawings on a flat piece of paperlook three-dimensional and realistic.

It is a really great way to start getting kids into understandingthe ‘rules’ of art!
