Words Continued 1 point perspective words

OK- So we are continuing to work with Calligraphy or the art of making words. In this next project I will have students work with 4H pencils to draw out their names and have them use line and 1pt perspective to show depth and a 3rd dimension.

Step 1- Set up the 18"x 12" paper with Light lines for the words to sit on. Using basic geometry we will find the center of the working space. The center point will be our Single Vanishing point.

Step 2- Using tracers for neatness students will trace the needed letters so they sit on their lines.

Step 3- Using an 18" ruler start putting in vanishing lines toward the vanishing point. The lines start at every corner or edge of a letter and end on a line that is an inch away.

HERE IS A VISUAL OF THESE 3 STEPS
