Assignment 2
A Jacobson
Production
STANDARDS
1. Demonstrate drawings
skills by the use of spatial
relationships.
2. Draw in one and two
point perspective.
3. Demonstrate a
willingness to improve
art skills.
Many of the early
artworks that mankind
created failed to show
any sense of three
dimension.
.
Early artists did not
know how to depict
depth in their
drawings and
paintings.
.
Painting by Giotto di Bondone around 1300
Do you know this painting?
It was not until the Renaissance Period that
artists developed a system to show depth
logically and consistently.
The Last Supper is a 15th century mural painting created by Leonardo da Vinci
Use mathematics & Science.
They had to study how things
really look.
What our eyes naturally do.
Then through close
observation they invented a
drawing system called linear
perspective.
Linear perspective allows
artists to trick the eye into
seeing depth on a flat
surface.
Perspective: Techniques for showing three dimensional objects
or scenes on a flat surface.
Parallel: Line that never intersect but run the same direction.
The red line is the Horizon Line.
The Horizon Line is horizontal
It is the place where the ground and the sky seem to meet
It goes from left to right and is parallel to the bottom edge of
the picture plane.
1. Normal Eye Level: If you draw the horizon in the center of your paper- it will
appear your are look straight at the object.
2. Worms Eye View: If you draw the horizon lower on the paper the you will
appear to be looking up at the objects.
3. Birds Eye View: If you draw a higher horizon line, the scene will look as if you
are looking down.
To Review: If an object is (Worms Eye) above eye
level you will see the bottom of the box/object.
Our eye
naturally sees a
vanishing point.
What is
wrong with
this?
Two Point
Three Point
Artists use one-
point perspective to
show objects face-
on.
Most lines are
vertical, horizontal,
or orthogonal
Orthogonal are
drawn to a single
vanishing point.
Place a dot in the middle of the Horizon Line. This is your vanishing point. In
one-point perspective the Vanishing Point, represented is always on the Horizon
Line. As things get closer to the Vanishing Point they get smaller and smaller
until they appear to vanish.
Draw a square or rectangle In your picture plane.
Now connect three corners of your rectangle or square to the
vanishing point.
What are these slanted lines called?
Vertical lines make up the boxes sides that are
perpendicular to the horizon. The back of the box is always
parallel to the horizon.
Erase the orthogonals to complete your form. You
now have a 3-D form in one-point perspective.
Two point perspective
uses two vanishing
points at the edge of the
paper.
