One-Point Perspective | Year 8 Art PowerPoint Lesson

This lesson teaches one-point perspective as a set of rules rather than a talent. It covers the horizon line, the vanishing point, orthogonals, foreshortening and aerial perspective, with a six-step demonstration for constructing a cube and a four-step route from boxes to a complete street scene. Pupils also learn how size, tone, detail and colour work together to create depth, and how moving the horizon line changes where the viewer stands. It is a ready-to-teach PowerPoint scaffold for an hour-long lesson on one-point perspective.
