Two-point perspective worksheets

These worksheets are intended for use after students have mastered my one-point perspective worksheets.

Begin by walking your students through the first exercise with boxes. Afterwards, they should be able to do the others with a little guidance. The worksheets get progressively more complex. Click on the images below for individual PDFs.

    Wow! These are great!
    I can’t remember how I stumbled onto your blog, probably searching for lesson plans or the like.
    I’m currently in grad school, in the middle of my student teaching (or gearing up for the bulk of it) at an arts middle school. I worked as a graphic designer for six years before deciding to give it all up and become an art teacher. Your site cracks me up and inspires me! I am starting a perspective/line unit this week with my middle schoolers.
    Anyway, I find your site interesting! I’ll definitely be checking it daily!

    Thanks, Jeannie!

    It sounds like we have a lot in common: starting out in graphic design and finding a higher calling in arts education. Glad you stopped by!

    You are my Hero! I have used most of these 1 point & 2 point lessons from the internet as well but you made them into terrific worksheets! I wish I had found you earlier this school year but I will be using your worksheets next year! Thank you so much for being so generous to share your work. This will be so much more efficient and clear than my drawing on a big pad on an easel and walking the students through it while they work in their sketch books. Cheri

    Thanks!Looking at incorporating teaching perspective with creating Howard Arkley inspired work- Great website and excellent worksheets – will make teaching perspective so much easier- I have found this as one of the hardest things to teach students

    hi, I just stumbled onto you website and I am very pleased to have found it. I’m a high school art teacher and working on 2 and 3 point perspective. I have my own approach but needed a new perspective… no pun intended!!!
    sometimes it helps to give the kids a different approach, I’ll try it tomorrow…yes I have Sat. classes…I teach at a boarding school. Thank you and I am adding your site to my “Favorites”.
    Very sincerely,
    Joney

    I stumbled on your website searching for better H.S. level lessons on the dreaded 2 pt perspective.
    Having been a photographer prior to teaching digital art and draw paint one, I never had to learn this.
    Soooo, I think your worksheets are great and your website/ wikispace??

    I am also trying to get my wikispace website designed and running.
    Thanks again!
    Sally

  19. Dawn, on October 2nd, 2008 at 8:21 pm, said:

    To answer your question, Sally, this is a blog rather than a wikispace. Thanks for your kind comments!

    I have my 8th graders draw cities in two point perspective but have also seen it suggested that they draw floating dice. It makes them think about circles in perspective too.

  21. Ivy, on October 26th, 2008 at 1:50 pm, said:

    Awesome. Am in the beginning of 2 point perspective teaching. First year teaching High School coming from elementary art. Kids don’t want to listen (because talking to each other constantly is sooooooo much more interesting – ugh!) to instructions and was looking for a pictorial…and here it is. Muchos gracias. Gonna visit your site often.

    Thanks so much for sharing your lessons. Some art teachers are so posessive (and afraid? of what?) to do this. YOU are terrific – and brilliant

  22. Dawna, on October 27th, 2008 at 5:50 pm, said:

    These worksheets are really cool, I will try to share them with my students.

  24. Jennifer Webb, on December 8th, 2008 at 8:06 am, said:

    These are so very useful. Thank you. I am using them in my classroom with my first year art students.

  25. Patricia, on March 5th, 2009 at 8:03 pm, said:

    THANK YOU!!! I teach middle school and have been looking for something like this for too long. Why should we have to recreate everything- you are great, and I appreciate your effort and sharing, thanks!

  26. Andrew Jackson, on August 27th, 2009 at 7:04 am, said:

    THANK YOU SO MUCH! These are incredible and using these has helped me teach 2-PT to my 7th graders so well and so easily. They are absolutely amazing.

  27. danielle, on March 7th, 2010 at 10:05 am, said:

    I stumbled upon this site and this page really helped me a lot! I am also a new teacher and find teaching perspective very complicated. I hope you don’t mind me using these worksheets, but they really are a blessing!!!!

  28. lacey, on March 15th, 2010 at 1:19 am, said:

    Thank you so much. Now I can finally understand what perspective drawing is and you have given fantastic work sheets to help. thank you thank you thank you.

    Hi Dawn,

    You my dear, are a lifesaver. I’m in my third week teaching, as a brand new teacher and completely swamped. I have been attempting to tackle class sizes of 40+ students for 6 periods, BTSA, T4S, and after school supervisions in addition to lesson planning and grading.
    I’m teaching perspective to my Art 1 students and your worksheets have saved me an entire weekend of creative engineering to create my own.

    You have a brilliant website. Thanks so much for sharing your creative energy.

  33. Cruz, on October 12th, 2010 at 5:22 am, said:

    Dawn this is a great way to start my students off in drawing with perspective. Great way to get the brain moving in the right direction. Thanks

  34. Tiffany, on December 3rd, 2010 at 5:09 pm, said:

    Dawn you are wonderful! I agree with all the previous posts – what a lifesaver! Thank you for being so generous with your talent and skill as a teacher! :)

  35. Darcy, on March 23rd, 2011 at 8:05 am, said:

    It is wonderful that you are willing to share these assignments with all of us! Thank you!

  36. Victoria, on April 20th, 2011 at 4:21 am, said:

    So nice, simple, and to the point so, my middle school students can follow along a bit easier. Thank you!!!!

    Awesome thanks for sharing, I try perspective with my middle school students and this is going to be soooooooo helpful.

  45. Christine, on October 23rd, 2011 at 5:11 pm, said:

    Thank you so much for sharing these! I’ve been teaching Graphic Design for 6 years, and it has been that long since I taught Fine Art. This year, I’m teaching both, and I find myself a little rusty with the perspective lesson…and very, very pregnant. So these resources were a lifesaver! Thanks again!

  46. Greg, on December 13th, 2011 at 10:41 am, said:

    Thank you for these! I was a photographer and graphic designer for 20+ years until I was laid off. Somehow I found myself as an Art Instructor at a private elementry/Jr High school. I have been scouring the internet and the few books I find to try to teach the kids the basics of art. Being self- and on-the-job taught myself I’m learning right along with the kids. Sites like yours are such a great help! Thank You!

    Dear Dawn,
    I love the website! I am an art teacher and this site is a great resource. Thank you very much!

  48. Debi, on April 25th, 2012 at 6:28 pm, said:

    Wow…these are great as we have to have a mastery check on new learning everyday in the program we teach at our school (this includes related arts. Sometimes it is a difficult thing to do; these worksheets will make great mastery checks as I can have the students label one of each with the hl, ol, and vp for each type of perspective and label each type. Thank you for sharing!

    What i don’t realize is in truth how you’re no longer actually much more smartly-appreciated than you may be right now. You are very intelligent. You understand thus considerably when it comes to this topic, made me in my opinion believe it from numerous various angles. Its like women and men are not interested unless it is something to do with Girl gaga! Your own stuffs excellent. All the time take care of it up!
