What is the difference between what is seen by the boy and his mom? Why would this happen?

Copy the lyrics to the right in your Sketch book and

then answer the question below.

Perspective• The way in which objects are seen due

to their spatial attributes (their dimensions and from what point they are being viewed).

• This causes objects to look smaller the further they are from you. Artist represent this in the effect called Foreshortening

It Started in the Renaissance with Artists that wanted to create a realistic setting for

their Pieces.

This example is a One Point Perspective, which imitates the way our eyes perceive space as

disappearing to a single point on the horizon.

Perspective and ArtPerspective is used by artists to create

the Illusion of Depth in their art.

towards this point along lines called Orthogonals.

In a One Point Perspective the Front Face of a form is seen as the

Creating PerspectiveWhat you will

need !!!! 1. A Sheet of Paper 2. A Pencil 3. An Eraser 4. A Ruler 5. A Horizon Line 6. A Vanishing

Point

After that draw a Horizontal line to end your shape and a Vertical line

to complete the side.

Now Experiment with drawing boxes in other parts of the page to see how they come out.

See what it looks like to stack boxes or subtract one from another.

The Ultimate Challenge!

• Draw a Cityscape using One Point Perspective. Check out the example below.
