The day we took a whole new perspective!

We had been talking about how people made pictures look 3D so we had a look at perspective. We decided to keep it simple and stick to single point perspective (2 point in the future). This effect is really simple to achieve with a few rules in mind. First draw a horizon line across the middle of your page. Then pick a point on this line called the vanishing point. Many people put this in the middle but you can have it to either side to make it interesting. All line then head towards the vanishing point. A road for example would get thinner and thinner until it met at the vanishing point. We had a go and here is what we ended up with!

 

As long as you remember that items get smaller as you head for the middle and darker in colour. Items appear big at the top and bottom of the page and small in the middle.
