Basic Shapes on a Plane

Part A
- On one sheet of paper 8 1/2” x 11” draw a one or two point perspective plane.
- On this plane draw a sphere, a cube, a rectangular box, and a cone.
- Place each object on the plane but don’t place them in any symmetrical or
parallel placement to the surface plane.
- Also, don’t make the distance from each of the objects identical.
- Show the objects to be transparent so I can see through them.
- Draw a one or two point perspective plane around each ellipse on the cylinder.
- You may use any single color of pencil you want.

Part B
- On another sheet of paper 8 1/2” x 11” draw another one or two point perspective
plane. This is to be the same plane that you drew in Part A,
just from a different point of view.
- Keep the horizon line at the same level as the one in Part A.
- On this plane draw the same sphere, cube, rectangular box, and cone but
refer to your drawing from Part A as reference to the objects placement.
- Draw their placement on the plane in this part as though you’re looking at the
plane and objects from Part A from a different point of view, as though you just
rotated the plane to a different angle.
- Place each object on the plane but be sure to place them in the exact same
positions that you had them in Part A.
- Again, show the objects to be transparent so I can see through them.
- Draw a one or two point perspective plane around each ellipse on the cylinder.
- You may use any single color of pencil you want.
