![Linear Perspective
[A system used to depict
3D images on a 2D surface;
it develops the optical
phenomenon of
diminishing size by treating
edges as converging
parallel lines that extend
to a vanishing point or
points on the horizon (eye
level) and recede from the
viewer]](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/prp-perspectivepresentation-180411211303/85/Element-of-Art-Space-2-320.jpg)
![Linear Perspective
To create a drawing with linear perspective, an artist must use three
basic components:
Horizon Line
[determined by viewer’s eye
level]
Vanishing Point (s) Converging Lines
[also called Orthogonals]](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/prp-perspectivepresentation-180411211303/85/Element-of-Art-Space-3-320.jpg)
![Atmospheric Perspective
[The illusion of deep space produced in graphic works by lightening
values, softening details and textures, reducing value contrasts, and
neutralizing colors in objects as they recede]](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/prp-perspectivepresentation-180411211303/85/Element-of-Art-Space-7-320.jpg)
Element of Art - Space
- 1. Perspective (Space) [Any graphic system used in creating the illusion of three-dimensional images and/or spatial relationships in which the objects or their parts appear to diminish as they recede into the distance. ]
- 2. Linear Perspective [A system used to depict 3D images on a 2D surface; it develops the optical phenomenon of diminishing size by treating edges as converging parallel lines that extend to a vanishing point or points on the horizon (eye level) and recede from the viewer]
- 3. Linear Perspective To create a drawing with linear perspective, an artist must use three basic components: Horizon Line [determined by viewer’s eye level] Vanishing Point (s) Converging Lines [also called Orthogonals]
- 4. One-Point Perspective • Lines and objects recede towards one point on the horizon line • Objects are seen “straight on” from one side
- 5. Two-Point Perspective • Lines and objects recede towards two points on the horizon line • For squares and rectangles, the side-edge is closer than any one side, so both side-planes recede.
- 6. Three-Point Perspective • Lines and objects recede towards three points on the horizon line • Typically depicts objects seen from a “worm’s eye” or a “bird’s eye” view. • The very corner is closest to the viewer, so all edges and side- planes recede
- 7. Atmospheric Perspective [The illusion of deep space produced in graphic works by lightening values, softening details and textures, reducing value contrasts, and neutralizing colors in objects as they recede]
- 8. FIVE TOOLS Through atmospheric perspective, artists can create the illusion of depth and distance using these tools: 1. Hazy lines 2. Indistinct shapes 3. Grayed values 4. Simple textures 5. Neutralized colors
- 9. Project: Perspective Objectives: • To create a composition demonstrating the proper use of linear perspective • To use graphite pencil to achieve a variety of values • The use knowledge of value, depth and composition to create an interesting design
- 10. Preliminary (Sketchbook) Work: • 1st Page: Draw 3 cubes/rectangles using only 1-point perspective • 2nd Page: Draw 3 cubes/rectangles using only 2-point perspective • 3rd Page: Draw 3 cubes/rectangles using only 3-point perspective Materials: • One image that shows clear linear perspective • 1 sheet of 9x12” watercolor paper (provided) • Assorted graphite pencils • Staedtler Mars eraser
- 11. Process: Using your chosen image, create a drawing in only graphite pencil. Start by finding and drawing your horizon line and vanishing point, and use these to create a corresponding drawing which adheres to the laws of linear perspective. Due: April 30, 2018 at BEGINNING OF CLASS
