Materials

Ruler

Color Pencils

Pencil

Drawing paper or sketch pad

Duration of Project

Between one to two 45 minute class periods

Before you begin this lesson, watch the video below of a one point perspective speed drawing to understand the general concept.

Part 1

Step 1 – If you got here following the previous link (one-point perspective) Use the same paper that you used to create the thinker model. Grab the paper and fold it in half 5 times.

Open it and you are left with 32 small spaces.

Turn the paper over to the blank side and darken the lines with a pencil to create a grid.

Step 2 – you are going to create the alphabet from a-z in block letter style.

before you begin, I want you to understand that you will be using the following shapes and lines to create the block letters.  Below is a diagram that shows you the basic lines and shapes that you will use to create the letters.  You don't have to memorize anything, just be aware.  Look at the "M" shape in particular.

Step 3 – set the paper in front of you (landscape style).  Look at the block letter alphabet below.  Focus on one letter at a time and draw each letter on each individual space in your grid.  notice that you are using pure lines (mostly) to create the block letters.  You will draw each letter from A to Z.

Step 4 – When you complete the alphabet, show it to your teacher and ask for a new white sheet of paper or use your sketch pad.  Look at the templates below.  Choose one you would like to use.

I chose template number 5.  Draw the template design of you choice and draw it large on your white paper or sketch pad.  (you may invent your own original template design if you wish)

1

Step 5 – On the top corner write your first name.  Count the letters in your name.  In the example below, ANDRU has 5 letters.  That means that you will create 4 marks that evenly divide the spaces.  If your name has 7 letters, you create 6 marks.  If your name has 4 letters you create 3 marks and so on…

2

Step 6 – When you (evenly) create your marks, go ahead and use those marks to divide your paper.  4 marks create five spaces.  One for each letter in the name ANDRU.

3

Step 7 –Draw a second line next to each first line, like in the example below.

4

Step 8 – Erase the top and bottom lines in-between each two parallel lines to create separate squares.  See example below.

5

Step 9 – Write your first name in block-letter style using each space for each letter.

6

Step 10 – You will turn every line inside the letters into a rectangular shape.  See example below.

Here is an example of how this is done with the block letters.

7

Step 10Erase all the lines that you don't need anymore.  You are left with only the block letters.

8

Step 11 – Draw a curved line through the letters.  The curve can have many curves or a few curves.  See example below.

9

Step 12 – This part is very important.  You are going to draw a curve that is parallel to the curve that forms the bottom of the block letters.  This will be drawn between the word and the vanishing point. See example below.

10

Step 13 – Now erase the gaps of the first curved line.

11

Step 14 – Use the one-point perspective technique that you previously learned in One-Point Perspective the prism to turn your block letters into 3D block letters.  Remember, one-point perspective means that you are only using ONE vanishing point.

12

Revise that every appropriate corner or edge has a receding line.  The example "P" below has a missing receding line.  This is a common mistake that you need to avoid.

Don't forget to draw the "parallels".  See picture below.

Another common mistake is your parallels.  Always ensure that your parallel lines are actually parallel.  The example below shows a letter "P" with it's parallel lines not parallel.

your teacher will be checking that all your parallel lines are done right.

Step 15 – You are now ready to color.  The example below was colored with color pencils.

Step 16 – Finally, Outline the perimeter with a marker or dark color pencil to make your name stand out even more.

Proceed to Emotional Control – Your Real Super Power for the follow up Project to this lesson.
