Why? Because it had always given me fits! Sometimes I find that I would need a floor sized sheet of paper to actually find vanishing points though!

So nice to meet you here! To answer ...Hi, Judith! So nice to meet you here! To answer your question, I'd recommend (for your students) that they buy and read and do the exercises on every page of "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" by Betty Edwards! In addition, "The Art of Perspective - The Ultimate Guide for Artists in Every Medium" by Phil Metzger is great. There are many other good ones out there but I keep these in my arsenal for those tougher moments! Sometimes just pointing out that sloped roof to them makes them see the phenomenon for the first time...eventually, they'll start seeing it on their own. They're lucky to have you for a teacher!

I was particularly interested in this one as I teach a group and was wondering how to approach the topic of perspective. I too want to keep it simple and generally just put my pencil on a line of my building and transfer the same angle to my page... not very scientific I know and I do know and understand the rules of perspective but I also know it is a real stumbling block for a lot of people who as you say pale at the very thought of it!!! So I too will be keen to see the responses to this one and whether people find your explanation makes it easier. I personally think it makes it very clear and I had decided to do something similar for my group but I also know that what I think is clear isn't always as clear to others. I didn't want to get too technical but wanted them to see how, for example a roof slope, can be really steep in fact almost vertical, when the inclination is to make it less acute.
