    Study Notes

    Purpose of a Vanishing Point

    • A vanishing point is a point on the horizon line where parallel lines appear to converge, creating depth in perspective drawings.
    • It enhances the illusion of three-dimensionality on a two-dimensional surface, guiding the viewer’s eye into the depth of the composition.

    One-Point Perspective

    • One-point perspective utilizes a single vanishing point, resulting in straightforward viewpoints, often used for scenes facing directly forward, like roads or hallways.

    Two-Point Perspective

    • Two-point perspective employs two vanishing points located on the horizon line, typically used for drawing objects or scenes at an angle, providing a more dynamic representation.

    Three-Point Perspective

    • Three-point perspective conveys the illusion of height and depth, incorporating three vanishing points—two on the horizon line and one above or below—often for dramatic views, such as tall buildings.

    Object Size and Distance

    • In perspective drawings, objects appear smaller as they recede from the observer, effectively illustrating distance and helping to establish spatial relationships within the artwork.
