Perspective

Perspective – Boxes – Pencil on A2 cartridge paper – exploring one and two point perspective, tone, proportion

This week we considered the effects of perspective on an arrangment of plinths.  

 

Single-point Perspective.  Single point perspective is created when the front of the object is directly facing you.  Other side that are going away from you will dissapear / meet at one vanishing point on the horizon line.






 

 Two-point Perspective.  Two point perspective is created when you are facing the corner of an object and multiple sides are going away from you.  The two side that are going away from you will dissapear / meet at two vanishing points on the horizon line.







 We also introduced the measuring technique.  We looked at how your pencil can be used to compare sizes of widths and lengths as well as record angles of shapes to ensure drawing maintian the correct proportions.  

We also consider shading and using tone to make surfaces stand out from each other, including darkening the background to make lighter surfaces stand out.
 Some great drawings produced this week!!
