Introductory Message

This Self-Learning Module (SLM) is prepared so that you, dear learners, can
continue your studies and learn while at home. Activities, questions, directions,
exercises, and discussions are carefully stated for you to understand each lesson.

Each SLM is composed of different parts. Each part shall guide you step-by-step
as you discover and understand the lesson prepared for you.

Pre-tests are provided to measure your prior knowledge on lessons in each SLM.
This will tell you if you need to proceed on completing this module or if you need to
ask your facilitator or your teacher’s assistance for better understanding of the
lesson. At the end of each module, you need to answer the post-test to self-check
your learning. Answer keys are provided for each activity and test. We trust that
you will be honest in using these.

In addition to the material in the main text, Notes to the Teachers are also provided
to our facilitators and parents for strategies and reminders on how they can best
help you on your home-based learning.

Please use this module with care. Do not put unnecessary marks on any part of
this SLM. Use a separate sheet of paper in answering the exercise and tests. Read
the instructions carefully before performing each task.

If you have any questions in using this SLM or any difficulty in answering the tasks
in this module, do not hesitate to consult your teacher or facilitator.

Thank you.

What’s In

Oblique drawing is ideal for visualizing how an object looks like, and it is very
much important and useful for different fields and entities. Thus, proper identification
and selection of oblique drawing to utilize in drawing an object or item should be
carefully observed by the draftsmen.

Let us review and gauge your understanding on the previous module before
proceeding to our next lesson. Please identify which of the following statements are
related to oblique drawing. Draw a star on the space provided if it is say so, and draw
a moon if it is not.

______1. If no orthographic views are given, always proportion the details of the
drawing to those of the equal object.
______2. Avoid positioning the longest side of the object parallel to the picture plane.
______3. “Iso” which means “Equal” and “Metric” which means “Measure”.
______4. Dimension to be laid on the cross-axis of the cabinet drawing should be
reduced to ½ or 2/3.
______5. Position the circular and irregular surfaces parallel to the picture plane.

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

As an explanation for those who had a hard time identifying the questions;
numbers 3 is the Latin word where isometric came from. On the contrary,
numbers 1, 2, 4 and 5 are the principles in constructing oblique drawing.

What’s New

Directions: Read and follow the instructions below:

1. Close your eyes and visualize that you are standing in a place. A place where you
can view a small island surrounded with coconut trees. Appreciating and looking
continuously in a distance, you have noticed that there are also beautiful mountains
hidden slightly by clouds. What you see in mind are God’s amazing creations.
Internalize and appreciate the beautiful view.

2. Now, open your eyes, and try to draw the scene that you have viewed in your mind
a while ago.

3. Transfer/draw the scene in your mind in a white bond paper.

What is It

Perspective Drawing

Imagine driving along a very straight open road on a grassy plain. The road,
the fences, and the power-poles, all are diminishing toward a single point far ahead
of you. We all know that the measurements of an object differ from a distance, we
see the objects bigger when they are near to us and smaller when at far.

3
 Perspective is a pictorial view seen by the observer’s eyes.

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 the farther away they are from the viewer.

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”.

4
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
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.

Technical Terms:

1. Picture plane (pp).

-This is an imaginary vertical plane where the picture is registered.

5
 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.

Note: A perspective Drawing can be identified as the following:

1. Worm’s Eye View

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

the observer were a worm.

6
 It can be used to look up to something to make an object look tall, strong,
and mighty while the viewer feels childlike or powerless.

Objects above the horizon line are drawn as if you are looking up at
them (you see the bottom of the object)

2. Bird’s Eye View

A bird's-eye view is an elevated view of an object from above, with

a perspective as though the observer were a bird, often used in the making
of blueprints, floor plans, and maps.[1] It can be an aerial photograph, but also
a drawing. Before manned flight was common, the term "bird's eye" was used
to distinguish views drawn from direct observation at high locations (for
example a mountain or tower), from those constructed from an imagined (bird's)
perspectives.

Objects below the horizon line are drawn as if you are looking down at
them (you see the top of the object)

3. Man’s Eye View

It is the view wherein the object is in the level of the observer.

Objects that are neither above nor below the horizon line are drawn as
if you are looking directly at them (you see neither the top or the bottom of the
object)
