Perspective

________________is a way to create the illusion of depth in an artwork. Objects that are in front of other objects look closer to the viewer.

• linear perspective

• atmospheric perspective

• overlapping

• horizon line

___________________is a method that illustrates how objects appear to get smaller as they recede into space when viewed from the front and using a single vanishing point.

• linear perspective

• atmospheric perspective

• one point perspective

• two point perspective

________________is a method that illustrates how objects appear to get smaller as they reced into space when viewed from the corner and using two vanishing points.

• linear perspective

• atmospheric perspective

• one-point perspective

• two-point perspective

A ____________________ is the point(s) on the horizon line where the lines of the objects eventually meet.

• horizontal lines

• converging lines

• parallel lines

• vanishing point

Where is the vanishing point located in a one point perspective drawing? 

• above the horizon
• below the horizon
• on the horizon
• never on the horizon

Size is

• 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

Detail is

• 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

Value

• Objects appear smaller as they move further away

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

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

• Objects appear smaller as their base approaches the horizon line

Horizon Line is

• the sunset

• the sunrise

• is a horizontal line that runs across the paper or canvas to represent the viewer's eye level, or seperates where the sky meets the ground.

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

one point perspective has

• 1 vanishing point

• 2 vanishing points

• 3 vanishing points

• 4 vanishing points
