    This document provides information about artistic perspective and how artists create a sense of depth and distance in two-dimensional images. It defines perspective as a technique used to depict three-dimensional volumes and spatial relationships on a flat surface. The key aspects covered include: 1) One-point perspective involves parallel lines receding to a single vanishing point on the horizon line. 2) Two-point perspective uses two vanishing points, one for lines receding to the left and one for lines receding to the right. 3) Examples are given of early artists like Masaccio and da Vinci employing perspective techniques to draw the viewer's eye into their paintings. Diagrams demonstrate how to draw boxes in one-

    These landscapes are very abstract – despite this the artist has been able to
    create a sense of depth.
    HOW?
    PERSPECTIVE MODULE AIMS AND OBJECTIVES

    • To learn what perspective is and how it works and use correct


    vocab
    • To be able to recognise where there are lines of perspective in
    subject matter or in images
    • Awareness of discovery of perspective and how artists have used
    perspective in their own work
    • To be able to draw using lines of perspective

    KEY WORDS
    Vanishing point, perspective, 3 dimensional, illusion, depth, eye level, horizon line,
    view point,
    Definition of perspective:
    • a technique of depicting volumes and spatial relationships on
    a flat surface.
    • Perspective is an art theory that has been used for centuries to create a three dimensional art
    on a flat surface.  Perspective has several type.

    Laws of perspective most obviously take place where straight


    lines recede or go away from you
    One-point perspective
    • All parallel lines
    receding away
    from the observer
    meet at a
    ‘vanishing point’
    on a horizon.

    Note how the lines of the
    coffered barrel vault ceiling
    converge at a vanishing point
    below Christ's feet. This
    example of one-point
    perspective draws the viewers
    eye downward toward the
    point of convergence and right
    to the main subject, the body
    of Christ.
