Study Notes
Perspective
- Perspective creates an illusion of depth and distance in art.
- Artists use perspective to make the viewer feel like the background of an image is far away.
- To create perspective, artists portray what the world actually looks like from a particular viewpoint.
- For example, objects further away appear smaller than objects closer to the viewer.
Key Terms
- Horizon line: The line where the sky and ground meet.
- One-point perspective: A drawing with one vanishing point.
- Two-point perspective: A drawing with two vanishing points.
- Orthogonal lines: Lines that converge to a vanishing point, appearing to meet despite being parallel in reality.
- Vanishing point: The point where all orthogonal lines meet.
Drawing in Perspective
- Objects in the distance appear smaller than those in the foreground.
- There should always be a value change in perspective drawings.
- Value change is influenced by the light source, with objects closer to the light source appearing brighter.
- Use vanishing points to ensure that objects shrink at a consistent rate as they recede into the background.
Creating a Reference Folder
- Artists can use reference folders to help them draw objects, landscapes, and scenes accurately.
- Take photos of one-point and two-point perspective scenes.
- Use these photos as a reference for future artistic endeavors.
One-Point vs Two-Point Perspective
- One-point perspective: Has one vanishing point, often used for scenes where the viewer is looking directly down a road, hallway, or other linear pathway.
- Two-point perspective: Has two vanishing points, often used for scenes where the viewer is looking at a corner or intersection.
