vanishing point
In a one-point perspective, all lines converge to a single ____________________.
vanishing point
Match the following types of linear perspective with their characteristics:
One-point perspective = Used to create a sense of depth and distance with one vanishing point Two-point perspective = Used to create a sense of depth and distance with two vanishing points Orthogonal lines = Lines that converge to a vanishing point Horizon line = A line that represents the eye level of the viewer
Study Notes
Linear Perspective in Drawing
- The main purpose of using linear perspective in drawing is to create a realistic and convincing depiction of depth and distance on a flat surface.
Types of Linear Perspective
- In a two-point perspective, lines converge to two vanishing points.
- In a one-point perspective, all lines converge to a single vanishing point.
Key Terms
- The term for the point on the horizon line where parallel lines appear to converge is the vanishing point.
Test your understanding of linear perspective, including one-point and two-point perspectives, vanishing points, and horizon lines.
