Imagine you're looking down a straight hallway, that’s one point perspective at work!

You know how when you look at a train track, they seem to meet at a single spot in the distance? That's like one point perspective. It helps artists draw things so they look real, just like how things appear when you're walking down a hallway or looking at a long road.

Think of your eyes as a camera, when you look at something far away, it gets smaller and smaller until it seems to disappear at a single point. That’s the vanishing point!

• If you draw lines going from the edges of the floor to that vanishing point, it looks like you’re walking down a hallway.
• You can even add boxes or doors, each side will lead back to that same vanishing point.

Imagine you're holding a ruler and drawing on paper. The far end of the ruler is the vanishing point. Draw lines from both sides of your drawing towards that point, and everything looks like it’s going into the distance, just like when you look down a long hallway!
