About this resource
Students enjoy creating art that has an element of realism. Converting 2D shapes into what seems like 3D forms achieves precisely that.
Use this resource to help teach the basics of one point perspective.
This resource explains how to draw a cube in one point perspective.
It takes you through drawing three blocks placed at different positions—above, below, and aligned with the horizon line.
Great for art students or anyone wanting to practice drawing skills.
This Handout with instructions show you how to draw 3D shapes using one point linear perspective.
Step into the world of artistry and spatial mastery with our digital guide titled "Drawing Cubes Using One Point Perspective" This comprehensive digital product serves as a virtual mentor, guiding enthusiasts and aspiring artists through an immersive journey of creating depth and dimension in their artwork.

Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Students draw a horizon line and a single vanishing point as the foundation for one-point perspective.
Students construct a cube from a flat square by connecting its corners to the vanishing point and completing the back edges.
Students explain why only two sides of a cube resting on the horizon line are visible to the viewer.
Teaching tips
Have students use a ruler for every line in this lesson, since the steps explicitly call for a pencil and ruler and the back edges must be precisely horizontal and vertical.
Work through the five steps as a whole-class demonstration before students use the blank template on page 2, since each step builds directly on the one before it.
Use the note about only seeing two sides of a cube on the horizon line to check whether students actually understand vanishing-point geometry, not just the drawing steps.
Skills covered
One-point perspective construction — students draw a horizon line and vanishing point, then connect square corners to it to build a cube.
Ruler-based technical drawing — students use a ruler to keep depth lines, back edges and horizontal/vertical lines precise.
Spatial reasoning about visibility — students explain why only two sides of a cube on the horizon line can be seen.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
Why can you only see two sides of some of the cubes?
A cube that sits directly on the horizon line shows only two sides because the horizon line is at the same level as the viewer's eyes, so the top or bottom face is not visible.
