Perspective• What is perspective??

- “The appearance of objects, buildings, etc., relative to each other, as determined by their distance on their appearance.” – World English Dictionary.

• What does this mean?

Perspective• Your PERSPECTIVE is the way you SEE things. (Your

point-of-view).

For example: -Look at the person sitting across from you at your

table. You see that they are right in front of you. - Now look at someone across the room. - From where you are sitting, you see a different

perspective of them. A different angle.

Perspective• Perspective is easier to explain when..

- Pretend you were standing on a tall mountain looking down to the ground. What would you see?

- Pretend you were a snail on the ground looking up at the world. What would you see?

Perspective• Perspective can be used in a variety of ways:

- When designing buildings/ Architecture- Bridges

- Creating floor plans for a house. - Designing a room or furniture.

- Every day things like drawing a person in a

scene.

Perspective• When using perspective, there is something called

DEPTH that develops.

• What is Depth?- “A dimension taken through an object or body of material, usually downward from an upper surface, horizontally inward from an outer surface, or from top to bottom of something regarded as one of several layers.”- Dictionary.com

Perspective• What does this mean?– Depth means simply how deep something is or

the space it takes up.

Example: Depth of water.

• Vanishing Point

What is a vanishing point??

Perspective• Vanishing Point means that this is the point in

the picture that all of the lines meet up to. This point creates illusions so that the picture looks realistic.

• It helps the lines in creating FORM and DEPTH so the object looks 3-Dimensional.

Raphael’s “The School of Athens” 1510-1511

Perspective• One point perspective has 1 vanishing point.

• Two point perspective has 2 vanishing points.

• Three point perspective has 3 vanishing points.
