A short video demonstration of one point perspective. The video clearly shows how to produce a simple perspective drawing of a box. The use of eye line, vanishing point, parallel and converging lines are all shown. Suitable for use as a visual aid at the beginning of projects based on perspective. This video is part of a series of demonstration videos. Running time 2.30 mins
These videos show students how to use the rules of perspective to develop their drawings. 1 point, 2 point and 3 point perspective are all covered. The activities are explained and demonstrated in a clear, straightforward manner. The videos can be used as the basis of a classroom lesson or alternatively could be sent to students who are currently in lock-down and having to do distance learning.
There are 8 videos:
An Introduction to 1 Point Perspective
An Introduction to 2 Point Perspective
An Introduction to 3 Point Perspective
Draw a Winding Road using 1 Point Perspective
Draw a Winding, Undulating Road using 1 Point Perspective
Draw a House in 2 Point Perspective
Draw Steps using 2 Point Perspective
Draw a Countryside Scene using 1 Point Perspective
This video demonstration shows students how to produce a 1 point perspective drawing. An ideal resource for sharing with students at home during lockdown. Equally suitable for use in the classroom. 15 minutes run
This video demonstration shows students how to produce a 3 point perspective drawing. An ideal resource for sharing with students at home during lockdown. Equally suitable for use in the classroom. 5 minute run time.
This seven minute long video provides clear demonstrations of 1 point, 2 point and 3 point (aerial) perspective.
A great resource to clearly show students how to build up three dimensional drawings using guide lines. Really useful not only as an initial demo, but also to play on loop whilst students work, so that they can glance up and remind themselves of the techniques.
This video resource has no narration - it is designed as visual support which the teacher can talk over the top of if necessary, however that is not necessary because it is self explanatory. The visuals are accompanied by background music.
This six minute long video provides clear demonstrations of how to draw steps in perspective. Two drawing demos show steps being drawn first from the front and then from an angle.

Do you want to show students how Art education relates to the real world? This resource might help. Firstly you get 2 different schemes of work (2 different formats) which encourage students to engage in the built environment through drawing and mixed media work. Students get to learn about the rules of perspective through activities that have them recording built structures. They are then challenged to develop their own ideas using their new found 3D drawing skills. They are also engaged in the development of relief work with an architectural theme using cut card.
The two schemes are provided as PDFs.
Support is also provided through 7 demonstration videos. These cover the following.
2 videos on One Point Perspective
An Introduction to 2 Point Perspective
Draw Steps using Two Point Perspective
Draw a House using Two Point Perspective
3 Point Perspective (Aerial Perspective)
Relief Art using Card.
Also included is slideshow of 100 architectural images for inspiration.
We have included part of one of the videos in the preview section. All videos are presented by Mael Matthews, experienced Art teacher, Head of Department, Senior Art examiner, author and artists in his own right. We hope that this resource really help student see the importance of artistic skills in the world today … and might even help them decide on a future career in architecture!
This resource is suitable for students aged 11 to 16.
