Dive into the world of perspective drawing with key terms like linear perspective, vanishing point, and overlap. Learn how to create depth and distance in your artwork with expert techniques and rules of thumb.

Terms to know • Perspective • the science of painting and drawing so that objects represented have apparent depth and distance…
Terms to know • Linear Perspective • a system of drawing or painting in which the artist attempts to create the illusion of spatial depth on a two-dimensional surface.
Terms to know • Picture Plane • the imaginary window that frames the things you are attempting to draw or paint
Terms to know • Horizon Line • where the sky meets the earth
Terms to know • Eye Level • the horizontal level in line with your eyes when you’re looking straight ahead
Terms to know • Vanishing Point • the point at which all parallel lines meet and or vanish as they recede into the distance
Terms to know • Converging Lines • parallel lines that appear to approach the same point on the horizon
Terms to know • Overlap • the placement of one object in front of another to create the illusion of depth
Terms to know • Size and Space Variation • the drawing of objects that are in reality equally sized and spaced objects so that they get smaller and closer together as they approach the horizon
Terms to know • Modeling • the shading and texturing of an object in a drawing or painting so that it appears to have form, depth, a front, sides and a back; there is something behind it if you could only see.
Terms to know • Color and Value Change • the use of a lighter value of color in the areas you want to appear further in the distance
Rules of Thumb • Things appear to grow smaller as they recede into the distance • Vertical lines in 1 point perspective will always be parallel to the sides of your picture plane • Horizontal lines will only be parallel to the top and bottom of the page in 1 point perspective
Project Requirements • Draw boxes and fill the entire page. • Box totals: • At least seven boxes drawn using perspective • One box must have an opening and/or be see-through • One set of overlapping boxes
Next • Practice Perspective-Perspective worksheet • Practice Shading-Value Scale worksheet • Perspective Assessment-terms and labeling
Complementary Colors • Complementary colors are pairs of colors which, when combined, cancel each other out. This means that when combined, they produce a grey-scale color like white or black. When placed next to each other, they create the strongest contrast for those particular two colors.
