2-point perspective drawing

In one of my classes yesterday, I struggled to explain 2-point perspective to my students. Here's a video that I saw today, which demonstrates it clearly. The two thumbtacks are the two "points" in this perspective exercise, and all lines converge at these points. These are also referred to as "vanishing points" because the it marks the spots where the perspective ends, or "vanishes."

Demo paintings from recent classes!

I had new classes start up again in January, and each week my students learn new techniques and methods. Here's a few of my demos from the recent lessons!
