I used to teach 1st graders one-point perspective, 2nd graders two-point and by third grade, they had working knowledge of three-point.
One of my examples illustrating perspective would be a large photograph of the interior of a room where I marked all the lines going to the vanishing point with a black marker then reminded the students that ALL other lines were either vertical or horizontal.
We never used the grid method altho others recommend it.
A Walter Foster book on Perspective provides an inexpensive but comprehensive guide to drawing and understand perspective. It explains and illustrates the basic rules plus offers easy step lessons. It is available at Michael's, Joann ETC, Wal-Mart, etc. and cost approximately $8.00.
As far as tracing a Shaker room, locate a book or web site on furniture design and the Shaker style will be included. Make a photocopy, printer version or hold the book up to a window and trace the page that way.
Retracing the perspective on a photograph can be very helpful in grasping the concepts of architectural and atmospheric perspective. Good luck.
