Drawing Activity:

Below are two links to buildings that are cubist designs. Choose one of these and draw a two point perspective of the building. Don't worry if your view is different than the image. Both of these images have horizon lines that are quite low on the page. So if you put your horizon line towards the top of the page , then your view will above the building. Have fun!!!

This a very simple yet beautiful building:
