One-Point Perspective Drawing

IF you want to earn a little bit of extra credit for your notebook, please consider the following:  If you create your OWN perspective drawing and put it into your notebook as Entry #16.  If you don't want EXTRA credit, but want to earn full points in your notebook for this entry, cut and paste a picture that you believe demonstrates one-point perspective.

Techniques for Creating Perspective

Renaissance artists used several techniques to show perspective, or depth,

in their paintings. Here are five perspective techniques:

1. Objects and people that are closer appear larger; objects and people

that are farther away appear smaller.

2. More distant objects and figures are painted to look blurry and

unfinished.

3. Objects appear to change when you look at them from different points

of view. If you look straight at an object, it might appear to look flat.

From a different angle, you can see that it has depth and width.

4. Colors that are pale, or have a blue tone, make things appear farther

away.

5. The viewer's eyes are drawn to a point in the distance of the painting.

This point, called the vanishing point, is where two imaginary parallel

lines appear to come together in the distance.
