Perspective:The art of drawing solid objects on a two-dimensional surface so as to give the right impression of their height, width, depth, and position in relation to each other when viewed from a particular point.
|
1 point perspective•A one-point perspective drawing means that the drawing has a single vanishing point, usually (though not necessarily) directly opposite the viewer's eye and usually (though not necessarily) on the horizon line.
|
2 point perspective•A graphical technique in which a three-dimensional object is represented in two dimensions, and in which parallel lines in two of its dimensions are shown to converge towards two vanishing points.
|
3 point perspective•Linear perspective in which parallel lines along the width of an object meet at two separate points on the horizon and vertical lines on the object meet at a point on the perpendicular bisector of the horizon line.

The Procedure: |
The Assignment:You will create a perspective drawing focusing on 2 point perspective. You will do this by choosing one of the 2 still lifes in the room. Using all of the exercises we have learned in class you will draw a composition that includes at least 3 boxes and demonstrates accurate 2 point perspective. If you would like to challenge yourself choose to sit either above or below the still life to gain a perspective that will allow you depict 3 - point perspective.
Once your composition has been drawn you will add to it by adding creative elements and/or putting it within a setting. For example: Is it underwater? Are there fish and coral incorporated? Are there humans rock climbing on it? Are they Christmas boxes? What do the boxes contain? Get creative and have fun. You will also have to consider where you want to add pops of color.
