Helping students understand perspective drawing with the aid of CAD. By Mauro George Brooks

Students often find the concepts of perspective drawing hard to do and hard to understand. I find that with some 3D model making and some computer aided design, the theories of perspective drawing can be put into practice with ease.


To begin with students draw the back of another student, it is good observational drawing practice, and, they will need the drawing to place within a perspective 3D model box scene, where the have also drawn a one point perspective view of a room.



      

             
                  Every student gets to make one!

Whilst the assignment is in progress students learn more about perspective
using google sketchup.
Students then begin to understand and attempt 2 Point Perspective.

Students can design their own spaces using CAD.
