Two Point Perspective

1
Two Point Perspective

• Designing a city scape

What is Perspective?

• The appearance of objects in depth as perceived
  by normal binocular vision.
• It allows us to show/draw things as they actually
  appear in life
• As things get closer to us they get larger
• As things get further away from us, they get
  smaller
• Its a tool that allows us to do this

How does this apply to the Elemetns of art?

• In a two point perspective drawing, you will use
  line and shape (in the drawing alone). Later we
  will add textures and color as well
• Remember all art use the Elements of art
• Line, shape, texture, value, color, line and
  form.
• You can use them by themselves or in combination.

4
There are two techniques

• One point perspective and two point perspective
• All show a horizon line and a vanishing point

5
One Point Perspective

• This has a vanishing point (ONE) and a horizon
  line.
• To draw one-point perspective, we arrange our
  subject so that one set of lines has a vanishing
  point right in front of us

One point perspective drawing

• This is a box, drawn using one point perspective

This is what your paper would look like, to the
left.

Two Point Perspective

• Building showing two-point perspective. You can
  see two sides, right? This is the technique you
  use, when you see two sides of a building.
• In perspective drawing, every set of parallel
  lines has its own vanishing point.

8
This is your paper, you have two vanishing points!
