Perspective

We will be spending a few weeks coming up working on the technique of perspective! Making something look 3D (three dimensional) on a 2D (two dimensional)surface and how this technique shows distance!

This is a very important lesson to learn as it will help make your Art look *professional*
See how these famous artists used perspective in their masterpieces?


Masaccio's "Trinty" is believed to be the first seen painting to include the technique of perspective. Can you figure out where his vanishing point was?

Pietro Perugino's fresco at the the Sistine Chapel
Do you see how the people closer to the vanishing point are painted smaller to show they are further away? See how the lines on the ground are converging (orthogonals) to the vanishing point? Do you see where the horizon line is?


You will complete 2 projects in Perspective:

1. ARN #2- Draw 15 cubes, 5 that have cut-outs The only lines that should be used are vertical, horizontal, orthogonal! Use a ruler to get these lines perfect (discussed in class) We will start this in class, but you will finish it during your own time.  Due Wed. October 27th- 10 points
2. Fantasy Room- BE CREATIVE, BE NOVEL, BE UNIQUE! What do you want your Fantasy Room to have in it if money was NOT an issue. Have Fun creating your space! (Will be completed DURING class, unless you do not use your class time wisely) 50 pts.
