Study Notes

Understanding Perspective in Abstract and Non-Representational Art

Abstract and non-representational art challenges traditional notions of perspective, allowing artists to explore new ways of representing space and depth.
Artists use unconventional techniques to create depth and space in their artworks, such as:
- Color, form, and texture to create depth on a 2D surface
- Shifting the horizon line to create ambiguity and encourage viewer interpretation
- Dynamic perspectives to capture movement and energy
- Experimenting with scale and proportion to create visual interest
- Using texture and surface design to add depth and visual interest

Contemporary Approaches to Perspective

Fragmented perspective: breaking the composition into multiple fragments or viewpoints to create a sense of movement and dynamism
Overlapping planes: intersecting and overlapping planes to create a complex and multi-dimensional representation of space
Abstract perspectives: distorting or exaggerating spatial relationships, proportions, or scale to evoke emotions and challenge viewer perceptions
Anamorphic perspective: distorting images to create a unique viewing experience
Collage and mixed media: combining different materials and textures to create layered and multidimensional artworks
Digital perspectives: using digital tools to manipulate spatial relationships and achieve hyper-realistic or surreal effects

Understanding Curvilinear Perspective

Curvilinear perspective: a technique that introduces curved lines and forms into compositions to create a sense of depth and volume
Principles of curvilinear perspective:
- Foreshortening: distorting object shapes to create a sense of depth
- Radial lines: radiating lines that create a sense of movement and guide the viewer's eye
- Wider field of view: providing a broader perspective compared to linear perspective
Applying curvilinear perspective:
- Choosing a composition that benefits from curvilinear perspective
- Establishing a focal point and guiding the viewer's eye
- Incorporating curved lines and forms to create depth and visual interest
- Balancing curvature to maintain visual harmony

Fish-Eye Perspective

Fish-eye perspective: a type of curvilinear perspective that distorts the image to create a wide-angle view
Steps to achieve fish-eye perspective:
- Drawing a horizon line and circle as a focal point
- Drawing straight lines radiating from the circle to guide object placement
- Adding elements to the composition, considering distortion and scale
- Experimenting with different angles and positions for objects

Multiple-Point Perspective

Multiple-point perspective: an advanced technique used to create the illusion of depth and space by incorporating multiple vanishing points
Understanding multiple-point perspective:
- Determining the number and placement of vanishing points based on the complexity of the scene
- Drawing the basic structure of the composition using guidelines from the vanishing points
- Refining the details and paying attention to proportions and perspective
- Experimenting with different vanishing points to create unique perspectives
