One-Point Perspective
Drawing
This project is created as part of the
M2T2
project with MSTE. There are
several different formats you can use to explore persepctive drawing
in geometry.
GSP Directions
- Create a vanishing point A and the top front edge BC of your
figure. Complete the figure (try a square).
- Connect the bottom vertices to the vanishing point. Then the
other vertices, connect them to the vanishing point. These will
act as your side edges.
- Construct a point F on one top side edge and then construct a
line parallel to the front edge BC. The segment FG will act as
your top back edge.
- Construct lines through F and G that are parallel to
BE and CD respectively.
- Construct intersection points H and I with the bottom side
edges. Then construct segments HI, FH, GI. This is your back
face.
- Construct edge segments around each of the faces.
- Hide unneeded lines. Move your points around and note how the
figure behaves in relation to the vanishing point.
Java
Simulation
Use the click boxes to create a drawing
of what was described above. Use the "r" key to reset. Try moving the
Red Points when you have created the entire box.
