One-Point Perspective
Age 14 · Art
In one-point perspective, edges that recede from the viewer meet at a single vanishing point on the horizon line. This makes a flat drawing look as if it has depth.

Every lesson is open to everyone for 7 days after it is published. This one came out on October 20, 2026: its text stays readable here, and its picture opens with a subscription.
The app is free. A subscription opens every lesson, in every school year.
In the picture
- Vanishing point: the single dot where receding edges meet.
- Horizon line: the level line that holds the vanishing point.
- Road edge: a receding edge that slants toward the vanishing point.
- Guide line: a thin line from the vanishing point to a tree top, showing its height.
- Tree trunk: an upright line that stays vertical even as the tree recedes.
Examples
- A straight road seen from a car narrows toward a point on the horizon.
- Railway tracks or a long hallway appear to converge in the distance.
Key takeaways
- Receding parallel edges meet at one vanishing point.
- Objects farther away are drawn smaller.
