The class has been working on 1 point perspective drawing in
preparation for our architectural watercolour painting culminating activity. For further information, please see the attached PowerPoint presentation we watched in class.
Things to remember: ·
Vanishing Point -The single point on the horizon where all the lines on the ground level seem to come together.
Horizon Line - The place where the land and the sky meet.
Viewpoint -The perspective of the viewer. ·
Orthogonal Line - Straight lines which are drawn at an angle from the edges of objects, back into space, until they finally come together at the vanishing point.
In 1 point perspective, the buildings are shown "face on", meaning that a basic shape (rectangle, square) is lowest on the picture plane (and closest to the viewer)
TIP: In order to create straight and parallel lines, keep your ruler flush with the edge of your paper and makes sure your paper is against the edge of your desk.
HOMEWORK:
Create a perspective drawing in your sketchbook of two buildings. Include doors and windows on the side
wall.
