1. Perspective Perspective is an Art word for making something look 3-dimensional… also called 3-D

2. 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.

3.  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  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.

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

5. Perspective The spot where the objects disappear to is called the “Vanishing Point”

6. Perspective The spot where the objects disappear to is called the “Vanishing Point”

7. Perspective To make objects show perspective, you first draw the objects normal… then you add lines from each corner that disappear when they hit the vanishing point.

8. Perspective Can you find the vanishing point in this drawing?

9. Perspective Can you find the vanishing point in this drawing?

10. Perspective Can you find the vanishing point in this drawing?

11. Perspective Can you find the vanishing point in this drawing?

12. Perspective Can you find the vanishing point in this picture?

13. Perspective Can you find the vanishing point in this picture?

14. Types of Perspective 1-point perspective/Parallel perspective 2-point perspective/Angular perspective 3-point perspective

15. 1-point perspective/Parallel perspective

16. One-point Perspective

20. Horizon Line  The Horizon Line is horizontal, it goes from left to right and is parallel to the bottom edge of the picture.  Represents the viewer’s eye level.  It is the place where the ground and the sky seem to meet  You can see the top of an object if it is below eye level, below the Horizon Line.  If an object is above eye level, above the Horizon Line, you can not see it’s top. Draw a Horizon line

22. Place a dot in the middle of the Horizon Line. This is your vanishing point. In one-point perspective the Vanishing Point, represented is always on the Horizon Line. As things get closer to the Vanishing Point they get smaller and smaller until they appear to vanish.

23. Draw a square or rectangle In your picture plane.

25. Now connect three corners of your rectangle or square to the vanishing point. These are orthogonals.

28. Draw a horizontal line between the two orthogonals where you want your forms to end. Draw your “END” lines

38. 1. Draw a horizon line with a vanishing point. 2. Draw a square.3. Shade-in the square, and draw lines going back to the vanishing point. 4. Draw lines parallel to the top and side of the square. 5. Shade-in the sides.6. Erase the extra lines.
