Free Perspective Lessons

Perspective for Kids

Picture
Learning linear perspective is an endeavor for ages 12 and up, but you can get younger students thinking about some of the elements of 3-D drawing with this creative and fun street scene. By introducing the concept of "overlapping", you can get younger students to think three dimensionally.

Ages 6 and up.

One-Point Perspective Project

Picture
Linear perspective can be baffling to younger students, but it doesn't hurt to introduce it in a way that's easy and fun.

This graphite pencil project teaches "one-point perspective" and also allows some creative freedom. Students can put whatever they like in the armchair - a monster, a toy, or anything that suits them.

Ages 8 and up.

Atmospheric Perspective

Picture
When drawing a landscape, it is important to remember that objects become lighter and blurrier as they get further away. They become darker and clearer in the foreground. Let's sketch these misty cliffs of Ireland and try to remember this principle as we do.

Ages 8 and up.
