Lesson preview
This is the real lesson text your child hears, read aloud by a friendly voice.
In two-point perspective, you see an object from its corner, not straight on.
Draw a horizon line with a vanishing point at each end.
Vertical lines stay straight up and down. All other edges go toward a vanishing point.
Architects and video game artists use this to draw buildings and cities.
For parents
Learning sticks best when kids use it in real life. Here are simple ideas from this course.
Look at the corner of a building and notice how its edges slant toward two points. Then draw a city block together.
