2. How do artists create depth and distance on a flat surface, like canvas or paper?
Paolo Veronese, The Wedding at Cana, 1563 (The Renaissance), oil l on canvas. The Louvre Museum, Paris, France

3. Can you list some techniques artists use to create depth and distance?

4. Placement

5. Pleacement
: below the horizon line, objects appear higher on the picture plane as they get farther away. Above the horizon line, objects appear lower on the picture plane as they get farther away.
Pieter de Hooch Musical Party in a Courtyard
Claude Monet, Hotel des Roches Noires,

7. Color

8. COLOR Cool colors recede: Cool colors may appear farther away.
Color intensity is much greater closer to the viewer and tends to get blurry and lighter in color it goes toward the vanishing point.
COLOR
Cool colors recede: Cool colors may appear farther away.
Warm colors advance: Warm colors may appear closer.
Jean-Antoine Watteau, The Perspective

9. Again, Objects that are closer tend to have brighter colors and more contrast. As Objects move back, the colors tend to get duller.

10. Picture Plane: The Picture plane refers to where an object is in a picture. For example: If an object appears to be close we would say it is in the Foreground of the picture plane.

11. Pictures are broken up into the :
Background
Middle ground
Foreground

12. Overlapping
: By partially covering one object with another it gives an appearance of depth
Sidney Goodman, Free Fall

13. Size

14. Georges Seurat, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte
Size: objects appear smaller as they get farther away.
Georges Seurat, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte

15. Atmospheric Perspective

16. Atmospheric Perspective
Creates a sense of depth by making distant objects lighter in color and less detailed. This can be found in nature due to the air or atmosphere filtering our view

17. Objects have less detail as they go toward the horizon line
Thomas Cole, View on the Catskill - Early Autumn

18. Another example of Atmospheric Perspective

19. Linear Perspective
A mathematical system for creating the illusion of space and distance on a flat surface.

20. In the Renaissance, painters needed to be able to translate the three-dimensional world around them onto a FLAT two-dimensional surface.

21. The discovery of perspective is attributed to the Renaissance architect Filippo Brunelleschi ( ), who suggested a system that explained how objects shrink in size according to their position and distance from the eye.

Depth
True Shape

37. How’d they do that?
Explaination ...

38. First: In one point perspective, surfaces that face the viewer appear as their true shape, without any distortion. They are drawn using primarily horizontal and vertical lines, as illustrated by the diagram below

39. Its important to establish the horizon, or eye level
Its important to establish the horizon, or eye level. This line of sight is called….

40. …..HORIZON LINE! (Eye level)
These objects seem to ‘disappear’ to a single point on the horizon called……
One-point perspective imitates the way our eyes see objects in real life.

41. …a vanishing point!
All converging lines meet at the vanishing point.

42. WHAT ARE CONVERGING LINES?

43. Lines leading to the vanishing point are called are called converging lines.

44. Let’s review:
Surfaces that travel away from the viewer converge towards a single vanishing point. This is a point that is located directly in front of the viewer’s eyes, on a horizon line (also known as an ‘eye level line’), as illustrated in the photo below:

46. Surfaces that face the viewer are drawn using their true shape
Key Points:
Surfaces that face the viewer are drawn using their true shape
Eye Level or where the sky meets ground is known as Horizon Line
Lines leading to the vanishing point are called are called converging lines.
Surfaces that travel away from the viewer converge towards a single vanishing point

49. Two – point Perspective

50. Draw the corner of the object first.
Draw the converging lines to the vanishing points. (these are the sides of the form)

51. Complete the visible sides of the box by drawing the corners, shown here with red lines. Draw yours likewise, making sure they are nice and square, at perfect right angles to the horizon line. Not even a hint of a tilt!
This is the tricky part. Drawing the back, hidden sides of the box. You need to draw two sets of vanishing lines. One set goes from the right-hand corner line (top and bottom) to the LEFT VP (VP1). Another set goes from the left-hand corner line to the RIGHT VP (VP2). They cross over

52. Erase guide lines. You did it!
simply draw a vertical line from the where the lower two vanishing lines cross, to the intersection of the upper two lines - the red line in the example.
Practice
Erase guide lines. You did it!
