Perspective Drawing 1 and 2 pt

Perspective During the Renaissance artists became interested in making two-dimensional artwork look three-dimensional. Renaissance- (1450-1600): The Renaissance began in Italy and spread through Northern Europe. Art, Science, and Literature grew during this time.

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 Lines that connect to the vanishing point

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?

Normal Eye Level Lower Eye Level Higher Eye Level One last demo to clarify The Eye Level in the picture tells the viewer the vantage point of the artist when they painted the picture.

One Point Linear Perspective Vanishing Point Eye Level & Horizon Linear Perspective content and vocabulary is introduced Converging Lines Size and Space Variation

VP VP Horizon Line Picture Plane Two-point Linear Perspective In one point Perspective both the height and width are parallel with the picture plane. You are viewing the object head on. When and object is turned the perspective changes. Now only the sides or height of the object are parallel with the picture plane. The lines creating the top and bottom now appear to be converging to two separate vanishing points on the horizon line. This is two-point perspective. One point Linear Perspective Two-point Linear Perspective

Perspective Objects seen at an angle would be drawn with two-point perspective using two vanishing points. Artwork with two-point perspective often has vanishing points "off the page".

Perspective Lines leading to the vanishing points are called orthogonals.

Perspective In two-point perspective the front edge of the form is seen as the closest point.

TWO POINT LINEAR PERSPECTIVE: 2 VANISHING POINTS TWO POINT LINEAR PERSPECTIVE: 2 VANISHING POINTS. CAN YOU LOCATE THE VANISHING POINTS?

Perspective Draw a horizon line towards the top of your paper.

Perspective Make sure the end of the ruler (or side of the triangle) flush with the edge of the paper. If lines are not exactly vertical your drawing will be crooked.

Perspective Draw two vanishing points on the horizon line near the page edges.

Perspective Now draw a vertical line this is your front edge. Draw it in near the bottom middle of the page, so you have plenty of room to add more forms to your building.

Perspective Now connect the both ends of the front edge to both vanishing points. These are orthogonals. Draw lightly so you can erase!

Perspective Draw two vertical lines between the orthogonals where you want the back edges of your form to appear.

Perspective Now join the back and top corners to the opposite vanishing point to complete the top of the form.

Perspective Erase the extra orthogonals. Now you have a form drawn in two-point perspective!

Perspective Your Art Assignments: Fill out your answer sheet Do your 3 practice sheets Create a 12 by 18 Cityscape

Perspective Your Final Assignment: Create a fantasy city using two-point perspective! Sketch out in pencil first. Add forms and details to create your city. Outline with black pen. Color with color pencils to Finish your city.

Objectives/Goals Discuss and learn the basics of what perspective is and how to create with it. Practice basic perspective methods the first day of class on practice paper. Complete ALL exercises for a grade before creating large cityscape that will be outlined in black pen, color is optional. Create a detailed perspective drawing using pencil, ink and color pencils on a 12 by 18 sheet of paper.
