Study Notes

Understanding Perspective Drawing

In the context of perspective drawing, "proportion" refers to the relationship between the size of objects and their distance from the viewer, where more distant objects appear smaller.

Goals and Principles

The main goal of perspective drawing is to create a convincing illusion of three-dimensional space on a two-dimensional surface.
Perspective drawing differs from geometry in that it seeks to create a realistic representation of how the human eye perceives the world, rather than adhering strictly to mathematical rules.

Naïve Drawings and Perspective

Children and some artists often draw tables and dishes with parallel sides and round shapes, respectively, regardless of viewpoint, because they are drawing what they know about the object, rather than what they see.

Distant Objects in Perspective

Perspective drawing aims to achieve a convincing representation of distant objects, making them appear smaller and less detailed as they recede into the distance.
