  1. Foundations ofArt

  2. Perspective • A 3 dimensional illusion of depth created in a drawing • One point perspective is from one viewpoint • Two point perspective is from two viewpoints • And so on

  3. Perspective • The Florentine architect and engineer Filippo Brunelleschi was thefirst to carry out a series of experiments leading to a mathematical theory of perspective. Brunelleschi, Drawing for Church of Santo Spirito.

  4. Horizon Line • line that separates sky from ground • your eye level

  5. Vanishing Points • Points at which horizontal lines converge at, that give the illusion of depth • Located on horizon line because they represent your view point

  6. 3 types of lines in 1 pt perspective • Converging • Vertical • horizontal

  7. Designing a room with 1 pt perspective Pink lines represent the converging lines moving towards the vanishing point The other lines are vertical or horizontal in 1 pt perspective

  8. Distance in perspective Objects farther away are drawn closer together. Objects up close are spaced farther apart.

  9. Placement of the ground • If you have a window, the ground line (horizon line) will be placed on the plane of the vanishing point

  10. Renaissance Artists and Perspective Botticelli, The Annunciation, 1489

  11. Vincent Van Gogh and perspective

  12. Line direction is towards vanishing point

  13. Steps for perspective • Step 1 • Lightly draw a horizontal line somewhere across your paper • Place a vanishing point on that line

  14. Step 2 ceiling wall • Place a small square or rectangle around vanishing point • Match up corners of square and vanishing point with ruler and draw line to end of paper floor

  15. Step 3- windows and doors • Lightly draw two diagonal lines from the vanishing point onto the wall • Then connect them with two vertical lines

  16. Step 4- furniture

  17. Furniture

  18. Furniture

  19. Furniture in perspective Vanishing point

  20. Assignment • Draw a detailed sketch of one of the rooms in your house from the photo you brought in for homework. Include placement of rugs, windows, tables, pictures, lamps, etc….

  21. Assignment • First draw an outline of the walls, floor, ceiling, and major furniture pieces. (Make sure to use your ruler!) • Once you have in all the major parts of the room, add accessories etc. • When your drawing is complete, you will outline the entire drawing in black permanent marker. • Finally, you will use watercolor and watercolor pencils to add color and interest to your drawings.
