Linear Perspective

What is the vanishing point?

• the point above the horizon line

• the point at the end of the horizon line

• the point where the vertical lines meet

• the point where the parallel lines seem to meet

What are orthogonal lines?

• horizon line

• the horizon lines on the front of the object/building in one-point perspective

• parallel lines of the object/building that seem to converge in the vanishing point

• vertical lines of the object/building that seem to converge in the vanishing point

What is the eye-level line where the sky meets the ground?

• vanishing point

• orthogonal line

• horizontal line

• horizon line

What is linear perspective?

• showing objects with a variety of colors

• showing objects with a variety of lines

• graphic system that creates the illusion of three-dimensional space, depth, and volume on a two-dimensional surface

• system for showing closer objects with brighter colors and objects farther away with duller colors

Objects placed _____ on the picture plane appear closer.

• to the left or right

• eye-lelvel

• higher

• lower

What is two-point perspective? Choose the best answer.

• rectangular objects are positioned so you are looking an angle (corner)

• rectangular forms are placed so their top and bottom are parallel to the horizon line

• rectangular objects are positioned so the front is facing the viewer

• showing depth with a horizon line and vanishing point

What is one-point perspective? Choose the best answer.

• rectangular objects are positioned so you are looking an angle (corner)

• rectangular forms are placed so their top and bottom are parallel to the horizon line

• rectangular objects are positioned so the front is facing the viewer

• showing depth with a horizon line and vanishing point
