Objectives:

1. Tolearn about Space.

2. To learn about Linear

Perspective.3. To create works of art using One

Point Perspective

SPACESpace is the area around, within, orbetween images or elements.

Positive space): In awork of art positive shapes

are the solid forms in a

design such as a bowl of

fruit. In a sculpture it is thesolid form of the sculpture.

Negative space): In a workof art it is the space around

the positive shape or the

shape around the bowl of

fruit.

Brightly colored objects appear closer than

dull, muted colors. This is because the air

around us is not empty. It is full of

moisture and dust that creates a haze. This

is called atmospheric perspective.

Atmospheric PerspectiveAtmospheric Perspective: When objectsthat are further away appear less bright and

less detailed.

Point of View

Point of view is the angle fromwhich the viewer appears to seeinto the artwork.

3 Points of view Birds eye view seen from

above the subject looking downinto the picture plane.

Viewer eye level seen straightahead in front of the viewer. Thisis the most common point ofview.

Worms eye view seen from

below the subject looking up intothe picture plane.

The artist determines the point ofview by manipulating theplacement of the horizon line inthe picture plane.

The Picture Plane

The Picture Plane is thesurface of a painting ordrawing and consists ofthree parts: Foreground

Middle Ground Background

Grant Wood, Stone City, Iowa. 1930. 30 1/4 X 40 inches Joslyn Art Museum.

Thomas Hart Benton,Embarkation. C. 1942


21/45

Foreground The foreground in the

picture plane is the part

that appears closest to

the viewer, usually thebottom third or half of

the picture plane.

Andrew Wyeth,Marriage. 1993.

Andrew Wyeth,Night Sleeper. 1979.


22/45

Middle Ground

The area in between theforeground and thebackground is calledthe middle ground.

The middle ground isusually in the centerone-third to one-half ofthe picture plane.

The subject is usuallyfound in the middleground.

Diego Rivera,La Era. 1904. Oil on canvas. Diego Rivera Museum, Guanajuato, Mex


23/45

Background

The part of the picture

plane that appears

farthest away from the

viewer is thebackground.

The background is

usually in the top third

to half of the pictureplane.

Henri Matisse,La leon de musique (The MusicLesson). 1917. Oil on canvas. 244.7 x 200.7 cm (96

3/8 x 79 in); Barnes Foundation, Merion, PA

Perceiving Space in 3d

Your eyes and brain worktogether to see length,

width, and depth so you

perceive the world around

you in 3-D. Each eye sees

an object from a slightly

different angle. To see

this, point to an object.

Close one eye, then the

other. Your finger appearsto have moved.

Perspective:

Converging

LinesAs parallel lines move away from

the viewer into the distance, they

appear to come together or converge

on the horizon. This is called linearperspective.


27/45

The Color Wheel

Illusion of space can be achieved through linear perspective:

A system of drawing that uses vanishing points and lines to create

depth, and 3 dimensionality.


28/45

Linear Perspective

The point at which parallel linesconverge on the horizon is calleda vanishing point.

In 1-point perspective, allreceding lines meet at a single

vanishing point. In 2-point perspective, different

sets of parallel lines meet at 2different vanishing points.

Because 2-point perspectivecreates more diagonal lines in apainting, the painting appears tobe more active.

1. Get a large sheet of paper, and a yard stick or ruler.

2. Establish horizon line.3. Establish vanishing points on the left and right.

4. Begin the streets at the intersection of two roads to

extend them to the vanishing points.

5. Add windows and doors. Signs can also be added, alongwith structural interests like awnings and columns.

6. Complete all structures.
