&TWO-POINTAERIALPERSPECTIVERepresenting three-dimensionalspace in two-dimensional art


2/36

Linear perspective allows artists to trick the eyeinto seeing depth on a flat surface.

Based on the way the human eye sees the world.

Objects that are closer appear larger, moredistant objects appear smaller.

To create the illusion of space, the artist creates a

vanishing point or points on the horizon line.

Objects are drawn using orthogonal lines, whichlead to the vanishing points.

Vanishing Point

The point or points on the horizon line where all thelines seem to converge or come together.

Horizon Line

In perspective it is drawn at the viewers eye level.In nature, the place where the land and the skymeet.

Orthogonal LinesStraight diagonal lines drawn to connect pointsaround the edges of a picture to the vanishing point.

The horizon line is horizontal, it goes from left to right

and is parallel to the bottom edge of the picture.

The horizon line represent the viewers eye level and

is the place where the ground and sky seem to meet.


11/36

Place a dot on the horizon line. This will be yourvanishing point.

As things get closer to the vanishing point they getsmaller and smaller until they appear to vanish.


12/36

Draw your shape on the paper.


13/36

Now connect three corners of your rectangle or square

to the vanishing point. These are orthogonals.


14/36

Draw a horizontal line between the two orthogonalswhere you want your form to end.


15/36

Vertical lines go from the top of the page to bottom ofthe page and are perpendicular to the bottom edgeof the picture. Along with orthogonal and horizontallines they make up a one-point perspective drawing.


16/36

Erase the orthogonals to complete your form.

21/36

Place two dots on the horizon line. These will beyour vanishing points.

Draw a vertical line above, below or on thehorizon line.


22/36

Now connect both ends of the line to thevanishing points. These are your orthogonals.


23/36

Draw two vertical lines, between the twoorthogonals, where you want your form to end.


24/36

Now connect the bottom of your vertical lines tothe vanishing point which is opposite.


25/36

Erase the orthogonals to complete your form.

Which one is one-point and which one is two-point?

AERIALPERSPECTIVE


28/36

The effect the atmosphere has on the appearance of anobject as it is viewed from a distance.

As the distance between an object and a viewerincreases, the contrast between an object and itsbackground decreases, and the contrast of any

markings or details within the object also decreases.


29/36

Pollution, fog, smog or moisture in the air createsaerial perspective.

When an object is far away, its colors become

lighter, cooler, and duller.
