1. One Point Perspective

2. How would draw something
Bell Work:
How would draw something
to make it look
three-dimensional
on a
two-dimensional
surface?

3. Definition of Perspective
•A linear system of converging lines
•Creates the accurate illusion of depth on a two-dimensional surface

4. Drawing One-Point Perspective
•Lines that show depth converge at one point
•See two or three sides of the object at once

5. Horizon Line — The apparent intersection of the earth and sky as seen by an observer.

6. Vanishing Point — The point in linear perspective at which all imaginary lines of perspective converge. The point at which parallel lines receding from an observer seem to converge. The point at which a thing disappears or ceases to exist.

7. Horizontal — Parallel to or in the plane of the horizon.
Vertical — Being or situated at right angles to the horizon; upright

8. Orthogonal Lines — The lines that make up the sides of an object in a perspective drawing that relate directly back to the vanishing point.

9. Remember… •Lines are only: –Horizontal –Vertical
–Or they aim for the vanishing point!
(unless your object is not rectangular)
