Perspective

The line that seperates the sky from the ground.

• Horizon Line

• Diagonal Line

• Horizontal Line

• Vertical Line

Example of using size to create space in art.

• Objects appear smaller as they move further away

• Opaque objects cover up those that they are in front of, obscuring our vision

• Items closer to the viewer’s eye appear to have more detail, as things move further away, the details become blurred.

• The use of set vanishing point(s) set against a horizon line to depict linear aspects of depth with parallel and perpendicular forms

Example of using overlap in art to show space.

• adding shifts in value – as well as eliminating contour lines – creates more 3D looking forms

• Objects appear smaller as they move further away

• Opaque objects cover up those that they are in front of, obscuring our vision

• Items closer to the viewer’s eye appear to have more detail, as things move further away, the details become blurred

Example of using detail to show space in art.

• adding shifts in value – as well as eliminating contour lines – creates more 3D looking forms

• Opaque objects cover up those that they are in front of, obscuring our vision

• Items closer to the viewer’s eye appear to have more detail, as things move further away, the details become blurred

• bright colors

Example of using placement to show space in art.

• Objects appear smaller as they move further away

• Opaque objects cover up those that they are in front of, obscuring our vision

• Objects appear smaller as their base approaches the horizon line

• adding shifts in value – as well as eliminating contour lines – creates more 3D looking forms

Linear Perspective

• adding shifts in value – as well as eliminating contour lines – creates more 3D looking forms

• landscapes

• The use of set vanishing point(s) set against a horizon line to depict linear aspects of depth with parallel and perpendicular forms.)

• buildings

Vanishing Point

• Two or more lines that get closer and closer

• x marks the spot

• the point at which something that has been growing smaller or increasingly faint disappears altogether

• A form of drawing and painting in which parallel lines are represented as coming together to give the illusion of near and far.

Convergence Lines

• lines on the floor

• lines that cross each other

• Two or more lines that get closer and closer

• big and small lines

one point perspective has

• 1 vanishing point

• 2 vanishing points

• 3 vanishing points

• 4 vanishing points

The horizon line is a ....

• Vertical Line

• Diagonal Line

• Horizontal Line

• Converging Line
