Perspective: the science of painting and drawing so that objects represented have apparent depth and distance…The Merriam-Webster Dictionary

Perspective

Vanishing Point The single point on the horizon where all the

lines on the ground level seem to come together Horizon Line

The place where the land and the sky meet. Orthogonal Line

Lines that connect to the vanishing point Vantage Point

A broad overall view of a place.

The Eye Level is the horizontal level in line with your eyes when you’re looking straight ahead.

Eye Level

Paul Cezanne La Montaque Sainte-Victoire, 1898-1900

The Eye Level in the picture tells the viewer the vantage point of the artist when they painted the picture.

Normal Eye Level Lower Eye Level Higher Eye Level

Perspective

Linear Perspective: Based on the way the human eye sees the world. Objects that are closer appear larger, more

distant objects appear smaller. To create the illusion of space the artists creates

a vanishing point on the horizon line. Objects are drawn using orthogonal lines, which

lead to the vanishing points.

Two Point Perspective

PerspectiveObjects seen at an angle would be drawn with two-pointperspective using two vanishing points. Artwork withtwo-point perspective often has vanishing points "off the page".

PerspectiveLines leading to the vanishing points are calledorthogonal.

PerspectiveIn two-point perspective the front edge of the form is seen as the closest point.

PerspectiveDraw a horizon line towards the top of your paper.

PerspectiveDraw two vanishing points on the horizon line nearthe page edges.

PerspectiveNow draw a vertical line this is your front edge. Draw it in near the bottom middle of the page, so you have plenty of room to add more forms to your building.

PerspectiveNow connect the both ends of the front edge to both vanishing points. These are orthogonal. Draw lightly so you can erase!

Perspective

Draw two vertical lines between the orthogonal where you want the back edges of your form to appear.

PerspectiveNow join the back and top corners to the opposite vanishing point to complete the top of the form.

PerspectiveErase the extra orthogonal. Now you have a form drawn in two-point perspective!

PerspectiveYour Final Assignment:We will be going into the hallway to draw the perspective found in our own schoolTake a ruler, pencil and boardQuietly go into the hallway where you can be seen and draw the hallway. If you finish early get a drawing Assignment from Miss Fawcett to quietly work on in the hallway with the rest of the class.

We will only have 4 class periods toWork on this assignment

USE YOUR TIME WISELY!

REMEMBER!Be quiet! If you are being too loud you will be sent to the office.

Work hard, you have a limited amount of time to finish this project

Use all the time you are given!

Use horizon line, vanishing point, orthogonal lines

USE VALUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
