  Drawing I –Traditional Drawing Project 3 Ellen Baer - Instructor Location: Bowie Senior Center 14900 Health Center Drive Bowie, MD 20715 (301) 809-2300 Perspective is used in art to create the illusion of three dimensional space on a two dimensional surface. There a several ways to convincingly represent depth on the picture plane: Linear Perspective is a system for drawing objects that use lines and vanishing points Atmospheric perspective Atmospheric perspective deals with how the appearance of an object is affected by looking at it through a layer of air. Contrast is greatest for close objects. Distant objects have less contrast in them and less to their surroundings. At a distance colors become less distinct and become bluer and or grayer. Details are less distinct. Changes in size (smaller shapes appear to be further away)Overlap

  1 Point Perspective– Used when an object one side of the object is turned towards the viewer. Uses one vanishing point. A. The object is below eye level – Eye level is indicated by the horizon line. B. The object is at eye level. Horizon Line Vanishing Point Vanishing Point Horizon Line Horizon Line Vanishing Point C. The object is above eye level

  Exercises: Divide your paperinto 3 areas. Copy the 3 drawings related to one point perspective. Repeat until you are comfortable with the concept. Notice where the horizon line is in relationship to the cubic shape. Take another sheet of paper and divide it into 3. Try to draw a cubic object using the principles laid out in this worksheet using one point perspective. NOTE: Objects that are placed parallel to one another use the same vanishing points Vanishing point 2 Point Perspective – used when the corner of the object is turned toward the viewer. Uses two vanishing points. A. The object is below eye level – Eye level is indicated by the horizon line.

  Exercises: Divide your paperinto 3 areas. Copy the 3 drawings related to two point perspective. Repeat until you are comfortable with the concept. Notice where the horizon line is in relationship to the cubic shape. Try to draw a cubic object using the principles laid out in this worksheet using two point perspective. Notice when do you need to use two vanishing points? When do you use one vanishing point?
