Perspective notes (4th quarter)

1. horizon line in perspective drawing- The line that represents the viewers eye level
2. vanishing points in perspective drawing-The point where the orthogonal lines converge
3, difference between one-point and two-point perspective drawing- One-point perspective creates the illusion of
depth and distance with one vanishing point, while two-point perspective uses two vanishing point.
4. orthogonal lines in perspective drawing- Lines that intersect at the vanishing point.
5. foreshortening in perspective drawing- The distortion of an objects shape when viewed at an angle
6. worms eye view in perspective drawing- A perspective drawing that shows the view from below
7. one-point perspective- A type of perspective that has one vanishing point
8. Foreshortening- The technique of making an object appear shorter by drawing it at an angle
9. bird’s eye view in perspective- A perspective drawing that shows the view from above
10. converging line- A line that moves toward the vanishing point
11. used of vanishing point in perspective drawing- To create the illusion of depth and space
12. the first to explore one point perspective system-.Filippo Brunelleschi
13. the most natural presentation of an object as it appears on the viewer’s eye-
14. perspective drawing classified according to Vanishing point
15. point on the picture plane which is formed by the intersection of the picture plane and the projection line- Piercing
point
16. purpose of perspective drawing- To create the illusion of depth and space into a two-dimensional image
17. vanishing point and how it is used in perspective drawing-It is a point on the horizon line where parallel lines
appear to converge, creating the illusion of distance. It is used to create the appearance of depth and space by
showing how object recede into the distance.
18. overlapping be used to create the illusion of depth in a perspective drawing-By drawing objects in front of one
another ,the artist can create a sense of depth and space in the image.
19. foreshortening and how it is used to create the illusion of depth in a perspective drawing-It is a technique used in
perspective drawing to depict an object or body part as closer to the viewer by shortening its length and changing its
proportion. The artist can create the illusion that the object is closer to the viewer and create sense of depth in the
image
20. placement of vanishing points affect the appearance of a perspective drawing-If the vanishing points are close
together, the objects in the distance will appear to be compressed and the scene will appear more claustrophobic.
21. an artist use size variation to create the illusion of depth in a perspective drawing- By drawing objects that are
closer to the viewer ,larger and with more detail, and the objects that are farther away , smaller and with less
detail.
22. horizon line used in perspective drawing-Used as a reference point for drawing objects that recede into the
distance and for establishing the placement of vanishing point.
23. an artist use shading and color to create the illusion of depth in a perspective drawing- By using darker color and
more shading on objects that are farther away, and lighter colors and less shading on objects that are closer to the
viewer.
24. some common mistakes that artists make when drawing in perspective-Not using vanishing points correctly
25. rule of eye level in perspective drawing-Determine the position of the station point by imagining that they were
standing at a specific location in relation to the scene.
26. station point in perspective drawing- Is the point from which the viewer is observing the scene. It is used to
determine the size and position of objects in the scene.
27. perspective change as you move closer to the door- As you move down the hallway toward the door, the
perspective changes in similar way
28. length of the hallway appear longer or shorter- The length of the hallway appears shorter and the doors appears
larger
29. height of the object in a two-point perspective drawing- It is determined by their distance from the viewer and
their position relative to horizon line.
30. color to enhance the illusion of depth and distance in a two-point perspective drawing- By using cast shadows to
create the illusion of objects hovering above the ground or shadows on the sides of objects to create the illusion
of dept.
31. How to draw objects such as a sphere or cylinder-First, draw a square around the object then use the diagonals of
the square to create the perspective lines for the object.
32. How would you use two-point perspective to draw a room with a door and a window-The artist would need to
establish two-vanishing points on the horizon line.Using these vanishing points as reference points.
33. use foreshortening to draw a hand reaching out towards the viewer-The artist need to sketch the basic shape of
hand using simple geometric forms.
34. overlapping and size variation to draw a landscape with mountains in the distance-The artist first establish a
horizon line and draw the foreground elements of the landscape.The artist would also used sized variation in
making the mountains smaller and less detailed than the foreground elements to create illusion that they are
farther away.
35. vanishing points to draw a staircase leading up to a door on the second floor of a building- Establish a vanishing
points for the stairs and a separate vanishing point for the building itself.
36. use two-point perspective to draw a car on a road- Need to establish two vanishing points on the horizon line,
then draw the car using the same vanishing points, ensuring that the car appears to be driving down the road.
37. steps in creating a two point perspective drawing - Determine the HL and two vanishing point, draw front plane of
the object using VP as reference, draw other planes of the object using the VP, add details and shading to the
drawing.
38. principle of vanishing points in perspective drawing- Used to create the illusion of depth and perspective in the
drawing.
39. position of the horizon line in a two-point perspective Decide the placement of the objects in the scene.
40. How do you draw objects that are not parallel to the horizon line in two-point perspective drawing-Drawn using
Horizontal lines that converge towards one of the vanishing point.
41. How do you create the illusion of depth in a two point perspective drawing- Created by using diminishing sizes
and converging lines that leads toward the vanishing point
42. How do you determine the position of the vanishing point in perspective drawing--By the position of the viewers
eye and the angle at which the object is being viewed.
43. How can you practice and improve your skills in solving two point perspective drawing?-Start with simple objects
such as cubes or cylinder.
