Journal 1 point perspective
The document provides instructions for creating a 1-point perspective drawing using linear perspective techniques. It explains that parallel lines appear to converge at a single vanishing point on the horizon line, creating the illusion of depth. The instructions then guide the reader to draw a horizon line at the top of the page and place a single vanishing point on it. Multiple boxes are to be drawn below using rulers to ensure orthogonal lines meet precisely at the vanishing point, creating the appearance of boxes receding into the distance. The drawing must include at least 4 boxes with different placements, to be outlined and colored for completion.
