LA PERSPECTIVE LINAIRE

LINEAR PERSPECTIVE SINGLE POINT PERSPECTIVE - VANISHING POINTS TWO-VANISHING POINTS PERSPECTIVE THREE-VANISHING POINTS PERSPECTIVE1What is linear perspective?It is a system of drawing in which the artist uses lines to create the illusion of depth on a flat surface.PerspectiveDuring the Renaissance artists became interested in making two-dimensional artwork look three-dimensional.

Renaissance- (1450-1600): The Renaissance began in Italy and spread through Northern Europe. Art, Science, and Literature grew during this time. 3PerspectiveMany of the earlier works artists created showed little depth. Does this picture reflect depth? Why or why not?What tricks have been used to increase its depth? You know some

4Linear Perspective:Based on the way the human eye sees the world.Objects that are closer appear larger, more distant objects appear smaller.

To create the illusion of space the artists creates a vanishing point on the horizon line.Objects are drawn using converging lines, which lead to the vanishing point or points.

VANISHING POINTHORIZON LINEGROUND LINECONVERGINGLINES7Vanishing PointThe single point on the horizon line where all the parallel lines seem to meet.Horizon LineThe horizon line is always at your eye level. Picture yourself at the seashore, and looking out at the ocean you notice that the water meets the sky at your eye level.In other words, the place where the land and the sky meet. This never changes.Converging linesAre the lines that converge (come together) at the vanishing point or points.

8RevisionCan you locate the Horizon Line? How did you determine this? How?By the converging linesCan you find the vanishing point in this picture?

26Sometimes is pretty common that the vanishing points are placed out of the paper we draw, like this the drawing is more realistic.
