What I Know

Directions: Read each item carefully. Put a checkmark (√) on all statements pertaining to
perspective and a cross mark (X), if otherwise.

STATEMENT
1. Picture plane is a plane figure bounded by circumference which is equidistant
from a common point, the center.
2. Single- or one-point perspective is the simplest method of making objects look
three-dimensional
3. Arc is a portion or a segment of a circumference of the circle.
4. Picture plane (pp).-is an imaginary vertical plane where the picture is registered.
5. Visual rays- is an imaginary line projecting from the observer to the figure
passing through the picture plane.
6. Horizon is the imaginary line where the sky and sea meet.
7. Parallel line is a line or object that shows a distance.
8. Steps are guiding rules to follow.

9. A worm's-eye view is a view of an object from below, as though

the observer were a worm.

1
 10. The 45-degree angle is used to draw the depth of the object of a cabinet
oblique.
11. A bird's-eye view is an elevated view of an object from above, with
a perspective as though the observer were a bird.
12. “Perspective” comes from Latin and it means “to see through”.
13. In cabinet oblique the depth of the object are reduced to half of its size.
14. All receding lines meet at the vanishing point.
15. 30-degree angle is commonly used in Oblique Drawing.

What’s In
Perspective is what gives a three-dimensional feeling to a flat image such as a drawing
or a painting. In art, it is a system of representing the way that objects appear to get smaller
and closer together, and the farther away they are from the viewer.

Imagine riding in a bus along the expressway. The highway, the signage, the other
vehicles, and the electrical poles, all diminishes toward a single point far ahead of you.

Before proceeding to next lesson, let us review and assess your knowledge on the
previous module. Please identify the following statements whether it is parallel or angular
perspective drawing. Write P, if the statement is referring to parallel perspective drawing and
A, if angular perspective drawing.

______1. Its receding lines converge on a single vanishing point.

______2. Its receding lines will converge on a two vanishing points.
______3. The vertical lines that run across the field of view remain parallel, as their vanishing
points are at "infinity."
______4. The viewer is positioned so that the objects in the drawing or painting are viewed
from one corner.
______5. It is often used for interior views or trompe l'oeil (fool the eye) effects

If you got a perfect score, you are undeniably correct about the different types of
perspective drawing.

As an explanation for those who had a hard time identifying the questions; numbers 1,
3 and 5 are the definition of parallel perspective. On the contrary, numbers 2, and 4
are the definition of angular perspective.

 What’s New

Directions: On the previous module I let you imagine a scene involving perspective drawing.
Now, I want you to choose an object and draw it in a perspective form. You can
also do it in lettering your name just like what I did on the sample below. Show
me what you did! Submit your output along with your answer sheet. Don’t forget!!

What is It

Words to Remember
1. Picture plane (pp).
-This is an imaginary vertical plane where the picture is registered.
2. Ground line (gl).
- This is where the actual figure is laid
3. Station point (sp).
- This is the fixed position where the object is actually viewed.
4. Visual rays.
- This is imaginary lines projecting from the observer to the figure passing
through the picture plane. They are sometimes called receding lines.
5. Horizon (h).
- This is the point where the figure appears horizontally at eye level.
- A thin line where the Earth and the sky appear to meet each other is the
horizon line, and it is always at the eye level.
6. Vanishing point (vp).
- This is the point where all receding lines meet.
- is a point where all the parallel lines seem to meet and gradually disappear.

 Perspective Drawing

Perspective is key to almost any drawing or sketch as well as many paintings. It is one
of the fundamentals that you need to understand in order to create realistic and believable
scenes.

Perspective is used to represent the ways objects appear smaller as they move
farther into the distance. It adds depth and dimension to flat images.

In art, there are three types of perspective: one-point, two-point, and three-point.

The word “perspective” comes from Latin and it means “to see through” so we can
assume that “perspective drawing” can be interpreted as creating the illusion of depth by
“seeing through geometric forms”.

Two common types of perspective drawing

1. Parallel or one-point perspective.

- Its receding lines converge on a single vanishing point.

- Single- or one-point perspective is the simplest method of making objects look

three-dimensional. It is often used for interior views or trompe l'oeil (fool the eye)
effects. Objects must be placed so that the front sides are parallel to the picture
plane, with the side edges receding toward a single point.

- In one-point perspective, the vertical lines that run across the field of view remain
parallel, as their vanishing points are at "infinity." The horizontal lines, however,
which are perpendicular to the viewer, vanish toward a single point at the center of
the image.

2. Angular or Two-point perspective drawing

- Its receding lines will converge on a two vanishing points.

- In two-point perspective, the viewer is positioned so that the objects in the
drawing or painting are viewed from one corner. This creates two sets of

4
 horizontals which diminish toward vanishing points at the outer edges of the
picture plane, leaving only verticals perpendicular.
- It is slightly more complex, as both the front and back edges and the side edges
of an object must diminish toward vanishing points. Two-point perspective is
often used when drawing buildings in landscapes.

Principles of Perspective Drawing:

1. All receding lines converge on a vanishing point.
2. The farther the color, the lighter it appears.
3. The farther the object, lines, edges, and the smaller it appears.
4. The object can view in terms of bird’s eye view, eye level, and ants’ view.
5. The vanishing point can be located anywhere as long as the object will not distort. For
the two-point perspective, the two vanishing points must be aligned to each other.

Perspective Drawing can be classified as:

1. Artist’s Perspective
It is sometimes called inaccurate or false perspective because the
horizontal receding lines or edges of the object, if extended prolonged, may not
vanish in horizon. But the view is pleasing to most people and hence its defect
is hardly noticeable.

2. Mechanical Perspective
It is an accurate or true perspective because it is done mechanically
and systematically, but the process is too complicated to be introduced in a
beginner’s course in drafting or engineering drawing.

Steps in Constructing Parallel or One-Point Perspective Drawing.

1. Draw three horizontal lines representing picture plane, ground line and horizon. In the
picture plane draw the top and front view in the ground line.

5
2. Locate station point on the ground line and project lines of vision from the corner of
the top view to the station point.

3. Establish the vanishing point by projecting vertical lines from the station point.

4. Draw projectors to the vanishing point.

6
5. From the piercing point project vertical line downward.

6. Then trace the overall shape of the object.

7. Check the proportion of the object, reduce sizes if necessary.

8. Trace visible edges or lines. Erase projection line to finish the drawing.

“Correct Me”

Perspective is key to almost any drawing or sketch as well as many paintings. It is one
of the (1) ornamentals that you need to understand in order to create (2) magical and
believable scenes.

Perspective is used to represent the ways objects (3) draw smaller as they move
farther into the distance. It adds depth and dimension to flat images.

In art, there are three types of perspective: one-point, two-point, and (4) third point.

The word “perspective” comes from Latin and it means “to see through” so we can
assume that “perspective drawing” can be interpreted as creating the (5) imagination of
depth by “seeing through geometric forms”.
