Clients often experience difficulty reading 2-D plans and often benefit from a view of a perspective drawing. You will learn later that these can be produced using 3-D modelling software, but the ability to be able to roduce a hand drawn perspective is of real value. Here we ask you to produce a perspective drawing.
Preliminaries
- Refer to your landscape graphics textbook by Grant Read and to the section which starts at page 188 on single point perspectives.
- Here we present the first draft (March 2010) of a set of notes which provides some instruction in the methods which can be used to produce single, two and isometric hand drawn projections of landscape designs.

Assignment
Produce two hand drawn single point persective 3-D perspectives. One showing your design for the space 10 meters by 13 meters (project 4.3 ) and the other for project 5.5 showing your design for the part of a rear space behind a two story terrace house. Upload the scanned images to your Google Docs space.
The figure below shows a typial single point perspective.
In a later exercise, you will use Google SketchUp to prepare a single point computer drawn perspective. The figure below shows an example.
