Space & Perspective

Date: 1/29/2014

Space refers to the distance or area between or within things

Linear Perspective

A drawing technique to create the illusion of ‘space’.

One Point Perspective

Uses only ONE vanishing point & ONE side is facing flat front

Two Point Perspective

.

Uses TWO vanishing points & the CORNER is facing flat front

Horizon Line (Review)

• Where the sky & earth appear to meet; eye level

Lines which come together at a single point

Converging Lines:

Vanishing Point

• A dot on the horizon line where converging lines meet.

Parallel lines

Lines that remain the same distance apart.

The white lines are NOT part of the painting.

Cityscape: artwork which includes buildings, streets & other

manmade effects

Architecture The art and science of designing and constructing buildings & structures

Some great artwork & artists that use perspective

techniques…

Next step

• Take a character development worksheet to begin

Teacher Notes: General Steps• Worksheet

– Name/Title frame can count as one of the 4 frames– Use perspective in letters

• Choose frames (have pre-cut frames)– Consider thumbnails/storyboard– Everyone gets a large one for perspective

• Drawing/Color on cut out frames• Layout &Glue on paper (different colors)

– Students cut own paper to fit design?
