WHAT ARE WE LEARNING: This week we will continue our unit focusing on Linear Perspective drawing.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT: Linear perspective is a geometric technique that helps artists create realistic 3D illusions in their artwork on flat surfaces.
HOW WILL MY TEACHER KNOW WHAT I LEARNED: You will create a Photoshop file where you will test tools for creating linear perspective drawings.

Create a 1-Point Perspective drawing in Photoshop that includes:
- Boxes with straight, parallel sides, horizontal and vertical.
- Irregular shapes with straight, diagonal sides.
- A horizon line.
- A vanishing point created with the shape tool
- Shapes turned into 3d forms that recede toward the vanishing point.
IF YOU FINISH EARLY, KEEP WORKING ON YOUR WARM UP DRAWING BY ADDING A PERSPECTIVE GRID! (Or catch up on missing work)
