    The document provides information on several art concepts including linear perspective, atmospheric perspective, point of view, the picture plane, and one point perspective. It defines key terms like horizon line, vanishing point, foreground, middle ground, and background. Examples are given of various artists' works to illustrate points of view, use of the picture plane, and linear perspective techniques. The final sections provide instructions for creating a city using two point perspective.

    1. To learn about Space. 2. To learn about Linear Perspective. 3. To create works of art using One Point Perspective

    SPACE
    Space is the area around, within, or between images or elements.

    Positive space): In a work of art positive shapes are the solid forms in a design such as a bowl of fruit. In a sculpture it is the solid form of the sculpture.

    Negative space): In a work of art it is the space around the positive shape or the shape around the bowl of fruit.

    Space is created by

    relative apparent size

    Space is created by

    overlapping, placement on the picture plane

    Atmospheric Perspective

    Brightly colored objects appear closer than dull, muted colors. This is because the air around us is not empty. It is full of moisture and dust that creates a haze. This is called atmospheric perspective.

    Atmospheric Perspective

    Atmospheric Perspective Atmospheric Perspective: When objects that are further away appear less bright and less detailed.

    Point of View
    Point of view is the angle from which the viewer appears to see into the artwork.
    Birds eye view seen from above the subject looking down into the picture plane. Viewer eye level seen straight ahead in front of the viewer. This is the most common point of view. Worms eye view seen from below the subject looking up into the picture plane.

    The artist determines the point of view by manipulating the placement of the horizon line in the picture plane.

    The Picture Plane

    The Picture Plane


    The Picture Plane is the surface of a painting or drawing and consists of three parts:
    Foreground Middle Ground Background

    Grant Wood, Stone City, Iowa. 1930. 30 1/4 X 40 inches Joslyn Art Museum.

    Thomas Hart Benton, Embarkation. C. 1942

    The Picture Plane

    Foreground
    The foreground in the picture plane is the part that appears closest to the viewer, usually the bottom third or half of the picture plane.

    Andrew Wyeth, Marriage. 1993.

    Andrew Wyeth, Night Sleeper. 1979.

    The Picture Plane

    Middle Ground
    The area in between the foreground and the background is called the middle ground. The middle ground is usually in the center one-third to one-half of the picture plane. The subject is usually found in the middle ground.
    Diego Rivera, La Era. 1904. Oil on canvas. Diego Rivera Museum, Guanajuato, Mex

    The Picture Plane

    Background
    The part of the picture plane that appears farthest away from the viewer is the background. The background is usually in the top third to half of the picture plane.

    Henri Matisse, La leon de musique (The Music Lesson). 1917. Oil on canvas. 244.7 x 200.7 cm (96

    3/8 x 79 in); Barnes Foundation, Merion, PA

    Perceiving Space in 3d
    Your eyes and brain work together to see length, width, and depth so you perceive the world around you in 3-D. Each eye sees an object from a slightly different angle. To see this, point to an object. Close one eye, then the other. Your finger appears to have moved.

    The Color Wheel

    What The ??????

    Perspective: Converging Lines


    As parallel lines move away from the viewer into the distance, they appear to come together or converge on the horizon. This is called linear perspective.

    The Color Wheel

    Illusion of space can be achieved through linear perspective: A system of drawing that uses vanishing points and lines to create depth, and 3 dimensionality.

    Linear Perspective
    1-Point Perspective

    The point at which parallel lines converge on the horizon is called a vanishing point. In 1-point perspective, all receding lines meet at a single vanishing point. In 2-point perspective, different sets of parallel lines meet at 2 different vanishing points. Because 2-point perspective creates more diagonal lines in a painting, the painting appears to be more active.

    Creating a City using Two point perspective


    1. 2. 3. 4. Get a large sheet of paper, and a yard stick or ruler. Establish horizon line. Establish vanishing points on the left and right. Begin the streets at the intersection of two roads to extend them to the vanishing points. 5. Add windows and doors. Signs can also be added, along with structural interests like awnings and columns. 6. Complete all structures.
