1. Foundations of Art

2. Perspective A 3 dimensional illusion of depth created in a drawing One point perspective is from one viewpoint Two point perspective is from two viewpoints And so on

3. Perspective The Florentine architect and engineer Filippo Brunelleschi was the first to carry out a series of experiments leading to a mathematical theory of perspective. Brunelleschi, Drawing for Church of Santo Spirito.

4. Horizon Line line that separates sky from ground your eye level

5. Vanishing Points Points at which horizontal lines converge at, that give the illusion of depth Located on horizon line because they represent your view point

6. 3 types of lines in 1 pt perspective Converging Vertical horizontal

7. Designing a room with 1 pt perspective Pink lines represent the converging lines moving towards the vanishing point The other lines are vertical or horizontal in 1 pt perspective

8. Distance in perspective Objects farther away are drawn closer together. Objects up close are spaced farther apart.

9. Placement of the ground If you have a window, the ground line (horizon line) will be placed on the plane of the vanishing point

10. Renaissance Artists and Perspective Botticelli, The Annunciation, 1489

11. Vincent Van Gogh and perspective

12. Line direction is towards vanishing point

14. Steps for perspective Step 1 Lightly draw a horizontal line somewhere across your paper Place a vanishing point on that line

15. Step 2 1.Place a small square or rectangle around vanishing point 2.Match up corners of square and vanishing point with ruler and draw line to end of paper floor wall ceiling

16. Step 3- windows and doors Lightly draw two diagonal lines from the vanishing point onto the wall Then connect them with two vertical lines

17. Step 4- furniture

18. Furniture

20. Furniture in perspective Vanishing point

21. Assignment -Draw a detailed sketch of one of the rooms in your house from the photo you brought in for homework. Include placement of rugs, windows, tables, pictures, lamps, etc….

22. Assignment First draw an outline of the walls, floor, ceiling, and major furniture pieces. (Make sure to use your ruler!) Once you have in all the major parts of the room, add accessories etc. When your drawing is complete, you will outline the entire drawing in black permanent marker. Finally, you will use watercolor and watercolor pencils to add color and interest to your drawings.
