Visual Art Basics

In a one-point perspective drawing, how many vanishing points are there?

• One

• Two

• Three

• Four

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

• On the horizon

• Above the horizon

• Below the horizon

• Never On the horizon

Trees and buildings should appear _________ as they go away from us

• the same height.

• smaller

• larger

The point on the horizon line where all lines end is called the:

• True Point

• Target Point

• Vanishing Point

• Disappearance point

This line is :

• Vertical

• Horizontal

The one-point perspective drawing gets its name from the vanishing point- the one point on the paper that all our lines are drawn to.

• True

• False

Area nearest the viewer in a landscape composition.

• background

• foreground

• midground

• highest part of page

Example of using size to create space in art.

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

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

• Objects appear smaller as they move further away

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

The horizon line is a...

• Vertical Line

• Horizontal Line

• Converging Line

• Diagonal Line

In this perspective, there are two points to which the converging lines are drawn to create the picture

• Skewed

• One-point perspective

• Two-point perspective

• Three-point Perspective
