WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT PERSPECTIVE?WHAT DO YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT PERSPECTIVE?

WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED ABOUT PERSPECTIVE?


Glossary of TermsHorizon Line ~ In perspective this line is drawn across the canvas at the viewer's eye level. It represents the line in nature where the sky appears to meet the ground.

Linear Perspective ~ A mathematical system for creating the illusion of space and distance on a flat surface such as a canvas or wall.

Renaissance ~ The period of Western European history stretching from the early 14th century to the mid to late 16th century (early 1300s to mid to late 1500s). "Renaissance" comes from a French word meaning "rebirth." The term describes the movement that led to new interest and achievement in art, literature, and science. During this time scholars again began studying and discussing the original writings of the ancient Greek and Roman philosophers. New translations of ancient books became available. In Italy, and later in Northern Europe, painters and sculptors began studying nature more closely and using what they observed in their art. They also looked back to the art of ancient Rome for inspiration. Architects and engineers applied new techniques together with their own artistic style to create marvelous structures unlike any seen before

Orthogonal Lines ~ Straight diagonal lines drawn to connect points around the edges of a picture to the vanishing point. They represent parallel lines receding into the distance and help draw the viewer's eye into the depth of the picture

Three Dimensional ~ Having height, width, and depth. A box is three dimensional.

Two Dimensional ~ Having height and width only. A painting of a box is two dimensional.

Vanishing Point ~ The single point in a picture where all parallel lines that run from the viewer to the horizon line appear to come together. The vanishing point is generally placed at the viewer's eye level.

Distance is a numerical description of how far apart objects are

Depth the measurement between two points.


WHAT WILL YOU DO TODAY?

HOW FAR HOW SMALL?Investigate how objects appear in nature.Manipulate the eye to create the illusion of depth and distance.

DRAWING STRUCTURES:Create a drawing of a cityscape using the principals of linear perspective.Understand basic principals of one a two point perspective.

SEE MY PERSPECTIVE: Using linear perspective principles to visually see perspective in nature.Take digital images of buildings in various forms of perspective.Create a disc of your images.

CITY OF LEGOS (BUILDING STRUCTURES)Build a replica of a city block using Legos or other building blocks.

WRAP UP





How Far How Small “ Depth & Distance & Space”


Place 1 Place 2

What do you see?

Which objects & people appear closer? Which are further?

How does size of objects and people change?


Activity 1: Color, cut and glue the following object onto sheet #2 using the correct Depth & Distance. Arrange objects so they show what is closest to the viewer and what is farthest away from the viewer.

The entire effect of distance making an object look smaller is in your eye, specifically your retina. What your eye sees is determined by angle rather than width. Your eye can see anything within a "cone" extending from the lens. This cone projects onto your retina. The size of your retina and your eyeball determine the width of this sight cone . A way to envision the cone is the beam of light extending from a flashlight. As you get further from the flashlight, the width of the beam gets larger. Likewise, your eyes can see a greater width when looking at things further away. Your eye sees size as how much of this vision cone is filled by the object. When a book is very close, the cone may not even cover an entire page. When further away, the book will only fill a small part of your vision cone. When very far away, the book covers such a small portion of the vision cone that you may not even notice the book is there. Because you see more at a further distance, each object becomes a smaller portion of all that you see.
