2 main types of Perspective Empirical Perspective relies on observation, not a set of rules Uses angles, intersection points, plumb lines, and visual measurement (1:1 Ratio) • (what we used for the still life drawings) Linear Perspective Uses a scientific method as a set of rules to draw forms in a realistic 3D way on a 2D surface (your paper)
Illustrations of the picture plane or your 2D piece of paper
Linear Perspective is attributed to FilippoBrunelleschi, an Italian Early Renaissance artist. The use of Perspective began c. 1450 CE Artists began to see the picture plane as a transparent window through which the observer looks to see the constructed pictorial world. “rationalization of sight” Look “through” a picture in to the painted “world” Trompel’oeil= “trick of the eye” the eye is tricked into believing that a painting is real, how realistic something looks
One Point Perspective • Used to draw and create forms with planes that are parallel to the picture plane and viewer The front plane of the object is closest to you
Two Point Perspective • Used to draw and create forms without planes parallel to the picture plane and viewer The edgeis the closest to you
Compare: One Point Perspective 2 Point Perspective • Height= verticals • Width= horizontals • Depth= convergent lines • Height= verticals • Width= convergent lines • Depth= convergent lines

Homework: Find two pictures that show 1&2 point perspective. Tape it to a larger sheet of paper & using a ruler locate the Horizon Line, Vanishing Points, and at least 12 lines going to the vanishing points.
