Perspective Drawing One-Point Perspective

Perspective  During a time period called the Renaissance(you learn about his in grade 8) artists became interested in making two-dimensional artwork look three- dimensional.

Perspective  Many of the earlier works artists created showed little depth.  Does this picture reflect depth? Why or why not?  How could this picture be changed to increase its’ depth? Kaufmann Haggadah. Spain, late 14th C.

Perspective  Artists used mathematics and close observation to invent linear perspective.  Linear perspective allows artists to trick the eye into seeing depth on a flat surface.

Perspective Influential People during the Renaissance  Art:  Michelangelo  Leonardo da Vinci  Science  Galileo  Literature  Shakespeare Raphael, School of Athens, One-point linear perspective

Perspective  Many artists have used a variety of different techniques to show depth. However it was not until the Renaissance that artists developed a system to show depth logically and consistently.

Perspective  Linear Perspective:  Based on the way the human eye sees the world.  Objects that are closer appear larger, more distant objects appear smaller.  To create the illusion of space the artists creates a vanishing point on the horizon line.  Objects are drawn using orthogonal lines, which lead to the vanishing points.

Perspective  Vanishing Point  The single point on the horizon where all the lines on the ground level seem to come together  Horizon Line  The place where the land and the sky meet.  Orthogonal Line

Perspective  Can you locate the Horizon Line?  How did you determine this?  Can you find the vanishing point in this picture?

Perspective The red line is the Horizon Line.

Perspective Can you locate the vanishing point?

Perspective  Artists use one-point perspective to show objects face-on.  Most lines are vertical, horizontal, or orthogonal drawn to a single vanishing point.

Perspective  We are going to draw a 3 dimensional bedrooms using ONE POINT PERSPECTIVE.

Equipment required: Pencil Eraser Ruler and or square ruler 11x17cm piece of paper patience

Step 1: Using your ruler carefully draw light lines(easy to erase) that connect both corners of paper. Note you may need to use 2 rulers to do this correctly. IT HAS TO BE EXACT.

Step 2: Draw the VANISHING POINT where the lines meet.

Step 3: Using your ruler measure and make a mark that is 8cm from the vanishing point along each ORTHOGONAL Line 8 cm long

Step 4: Using your ruler carefully connect the dots to create a rectangle

Step 5: Carefully measure and make a small mark that is 3cm down from the top left corner of the page. Step 6: Draw an orthogonal line from the 3cm mark to the VANISHING Point.

Step 7: Measure 3cm from the bottom ORTHOGONAL line and make a mark. Step 8: Using your ruler carefully connect the 2 dots.

Step 9: Measure 6cm from the bottom ORTHOGONAL line and make a mark. Step 10: Using your ruler carefully draw a vertical parallel line from the 6cm mark to the top orthogonal line. This is your door! GOOD WORK!

Step 11: Draw a door frame around your door. It should be approx. ½ cm wide. You will need to draw another orthogonal line for the top door frame, and you will need to measure and draw vertical parallel lines for the side frames

Step 12: Draw a window in your door. You will need to draw two more orthogonal line for the top and bottom of the window. You will need to measure and draw vertical parallel lines for the side frames Add a door handle!

Step 13: ERASE THE EXTRA ORTHOGONAL LINES!

Step 14:We are going to create a Window on the opposite wall. A. Measure 5cm down from the top right corner of the page and make a small mark. B. Measure 14cm down from the top right corner and make a small mark.

Step 15: Draw Orthogonal lines connecting the 5cm and 14cm marks to the VANISHING POINT.

Step 16: Measure and make marks at 4cm and 10cm from the side of the page along the bottom orthogonal line Step 17: Draw vertical parallel lines to create the sides of your window

Step 18: Create a WINDOW FRAME by drawing orthogonal lines A. Draw Parallel vertical lines. Approx. ½ cm thick/

Step 19: Divide the window into panes by drawing an orthogonal line and parallel lines.

Step 21: We are going to create a bed. A. Measure 9 cm in along the bottom orthogonal line and make a mark.

Step 22: Use your ruler to carefully draw a parallel line that is 9 cm long. Note: you can ensure it is parallel by lining up the side of the rule with the side of the page

Step 23: Draw two parallel vertical lines from the ends of the 9cm line. They should be approx. 3cm long. Note: you can ensure it is parallel by lining up the side of the rule with the side of the page Step 24: Connect the vertical lines so you have a rectangle.

Step 25: Draw ORTHOGONAL lines from all 3 corners of the rectangle

Step 27: Erase extra lines.

Step 28: GREAT ROOM? What else can you add to your room?

Step 7: Measure 3cm from the bottom ORTHOGONAL line and make a mark. Step 8: Using your ruler carefully connect the 2 dots.
