yeah, stupid perspective stuff-i miss advanced art.
we were just supposed to draw a few boxes around a central vanishing point. while the entire class was trying to figure out how to even begin their first one, this is what happened with me: (there are a few opened/clear boxes thrown in there)


my favorite:


and even though i hate pink, i like the little pink one below the eyes. oh, and the orange one in the top left corner. AND THE BROWN POLKA-DOT ONE! that one's just adorkable. :]
oh yeah, between the two eyes=vanishing point.

Ooo, they look really interesting. Very nice.

Just curious, I don't take art or anything, what's the term "vanishing point" in art and how is it used?

sorry it's taken so long to reply.

but, see the eyes? the blank spot right in the center of the eyes is my vanishing point. it could be literally anywhere on the paper. basically, it's exactly what it is, it's the point where things "vanish"-it's also used for boxes like these.
say you take a picture from above a city somewhere, and in the middle of the picture is, let's say...times square! the middle of that is the vanishing point, since all the buildings and such go down to that point.
note the vanishing point is just a tiny little dot. :]
as for boxes like these, you just draw any shape. then you (using a ruler, or if you have good sense of location like that and your eyes can be your ruler) draw a line from each main point of the shape to the vanishing point. if you want to get technical, there's certain points you draw lines from in order to get just a regular box, an open box, or a see-through box.

sorry if that's confusing.
