How can you make a drawing appear three-dimensional using perspective?
Students will:
1. Practice perspective through the perspective worksheets
2. Show their understanding of Three-point perspective by drawing their name using three-point perspective techniques
3. Apply past knowledge of shading to push the three-dimensional look
4. Apply the art concept of Elements of Art and Principles of Design
4. Apply the art concept of Elements of Art and Principles of Design
4. Have a theme to create a personal portfolio
What Is Perspective?
Perspective is a method of drawing objects on a two-dimensional surface to give the right impression of height, width, depth, and position in relation to each other.
There are 3 main types of Linear perspective drawing:
What is Linear perspective?
There are many types of perspective drawing. Linear perspective refers to using a set of rules that guide a drawing’s lines towards various vanishing point(s). This converging of lines is what helps an artist achieve the illusion of depth within a drawing.There are 3 main types of Linear perspective drawing:
- 1 point perspective
- 2 point perspective
- 3 point perspective
Points of view:
Bird's Eye corner view(Above looking down)
Horizon line is high up on the paper
Points of view:
worm's Eye corner view(Below looking up)
Horizon line is low on the paper
- Both use the 3-pt formula. Only height of HL changes and placement of 3rd VP.
Basic Principle of 3 point perspective drawing
Following along with the step by step directions for the 3 point perspective NAME demo.
Please use the practice sheets, a pencils and a ruler for this project.
Step 2: Mark the middle name with an arrow
Step 3 Find your middle letter in the square tag alphabet sheet
You can also create your own font for the box letters
This is a Letter "Y"
Step 5- Draw a Converging line for all the vertical lines for the letter
Step 6- Draw all the horizontal lines as converging lines to the vanishing point to the left side
Step 11- On this practice paper you will NOT be able to, but some lines will need to be erased to finish the letter.
The exemplar finished one should look like:
1. Your name should have at least 5-9 letters.
2. Create the middle letter on both sides of the corners.
3. All letters are presented as accurately in 3 point perspective. All lines lead to the correct varnishing point. Linear perspective is used with a ruler.
4. Have a theme to indicate a personal interest. The art work is original and unique in design.
5. Shading placement is well chosen and complements the design.
6. Piece is complete. The design is completed and includes Elements of Art and Principles of Art.
7. Turn in on time through Google classroom.( Fail to turn in the art project will get ZERO for your grade.) If you can not turn in on time your have the following choices:
a. Please ask for extension and provide a date for turning in your project.
b. Turn in your unfinished artwork for partial of the credit. ( Fail to turn in the art project will get ZERO on your grade.)
