The Uses of Space
Many new artists overlook the
importance of creating space in a
drawing or painting. The result usually
looks flat or objects can appear to be
floating. Luckily, however, creating
space in an artwork is very simple to
accomplish and there are a number of
ways to it.
Overlapping - occurs when
objects that are closer to the
viewer prevent the view of
objects that are behind them.
Placement on the
paper - Objects placed
higher within the picture
plane will appear
further away. High/Low
Placement.
Size - Objects that
are smaller will
appear further away
from the viewer.
Perspective - Linear
perspective is a drawing
method that uses lines to
create the illusion of space
on a flat surface. There are
three types of linear
perspective. Two are
displayed on this page.
Mini Lesson #1
Create visual space using in
three separate drawings.
1.Create space using high
low placement
2.Create space using
overlapping
3.Create space using size
One point perspective is a type of linear
perspective. Linear perspective relies on the use of
lines to render objects leading to the illusion of
space and form in a flat work of art. It is a
structured approach to drawing. One point
perspective gets its name from the fact that it
utilizes a single vanishing point.
Vanishing Point
A vanishing point, or point of
convergence, is a key element in many
works of art. In a linear perspective
drawing, the vanishing point is the spot
on the horizon line to which the
receding parallel lines diminish.
Mini Lesson #2Using only geometric shapes create
three different drawings, in your
sketchbook using one point
perspective. Use your rulers, vanishing
point and horizon line.
What is Two Point Perspective?
Two point perspective drawing is a type of
linear perspective. Linear perspective is a
method using lines to create the illusion of
space on a 2D surface.
Mini Lesson #3
In your sketchbooks I would like for you
to draw city block in two point
perspective. Make sure to have
various size buildings, think back to our
demo and videos about how to plot
your two vanishing points. Use your
rulers to make sure your lines diverged
to one of your two vanishing points.
You may be creative with your city
block.
Three Point, four point and beyond
• Artist and designers are not limited to one and
two point perspective. Sometimes the artist
needs to have more than three vanishing
points.
• The issue with using 3 or more vanishing points is
that the perspective lines can get lost and
confusing.
• It takes a great deal of concentration.
• When completed correctly these types of
perspective drawings can be very detailed
and beautiful.3 Point
Mini Lesson #4
Think back to what I showed the class and
what was in the video. Try and attempt the 3
point perspective for beginners. Use your rulers
and the vanishing points. Use what you have
learned from one and two point perspective.
Implied Line
How is this
implied
line?
Discuss!
Mini Lesson #5
In your sketchbook draw 4 examples of
implied line. Be creative with this. Use shapes,
imagery, numbers etc. Just make sure each
implied line is drawing your attention to a
specific point.
Mini Lesson #6You will take what we learned about perspective and put it
all together. We will be taking a field trip…
To the hallway. Spread out down the hall and look at the
hallway. Try to draw the hallway in either one point or two
point perspective. Figure out how to apply implied line. Use
only a pencil. This will be done in your sketchbook. Make sure
to add values with shading.
