2 Point Perspective City

2 point perspective is a way to create realistic looking 3D
spaces. You will draw a fantasy city of your choice using 2
vanishing points, a horizon line, and receding lines. Then,
you will collage magazine images of your choice to create
a unique city of your own creation!
