How to Draw a Modern School

While modern schools might be more bland than the classic school on the prairie, they are far easier to draw. By using one- or two-point perspective, you can draw a building that looks perfectly symmetrical and clean. The building described here is drawn using one-point perspective.

Things You'll Need

• Drawing pencil
• Pencil eraser
• Drawing paper
• Ruler
• Protractor
• or
• Graphics program
• Graphics tablet

Instructions

1. 

   Draw a horizon line. Place the vanishing point as far on the left as possible.

2. 

   Draw diagonal guidelines traveling from the vanishing point to the points where you want the top and bottom of your building to be.

3. 

   Draw additional lines for the edge of the roof. These lines will make the roof look 3-D. Also, start drawing the windows.

4. 

   Draw a vertical line and a diagonal line that connect to the top and side of the house. These lines are the edge of the roof on the modern school.

5. 

   Erase the guidelines.
