Perspective
How can understanding linear perspective help me with other artistic endeavors?
Task
Make 2 drawings.
One of 1-Point Perspective
and the other of 2-Point Perspective.
Use a photo for your inspiration. Use man-made structures. City streets with buildings, hallways, train tracks, roads with telephone poles.
Considerations: Where is your vanishing point(s) and horizon line.
Take a photo of your work and include the photo you are referencing. Use the "Perspective Worksheet"
Turn it in here on Google Classroom. Due Wednesday, Oct. 14, Green Day.
Vocabulary
Vanishing Point
the point at which receding parallel lines viewed in perspective appear to converge.
the point at which something that has been growing smaller or increasingly faint disappears altogether.
Horizon line
eye level refer to a physical/visual boundary where sky separates from land or water. It is the actual height of the viewer's eyes when looking at an object, interior scene, or an exterior scene.
Three Dimensional Object
A graphical technique in which a three-dimensional object is represented in two dimensions, and in which parallel lines in two of its dimensions are shown to converge towards two vanishing points.
One Point Perspective
a straight-on view with only one vanishing point. Parallel lines converge on one point in the distance to a single vanishing point. ... The lines almost appear to disappear in the distance.
Two-Point Perspective
A graphical technique in which a three-dimensional object is represented in two dimensions, and in which parallel lines in two of its dimensions are shown to converge towards two vanishing points.
Three Point Perspective
linear perspective in which parallel lines along the width of an object meet at two separate points on the horizon and vertical lines on the object meet at a point on the perpendicular bisector of the horizon line.
