    Two Point Perspective-1

    Uploaded by

    Laudeaaart
    The document discusses two point perspective drawing techniques. It provides definitions for key terms like horizon line and vanishing point. It then gives step-by-step instructions for drawing buildings using orthogonal lines that connect to vanishing points. Examples of surrealism in art are also discussed. The final project requires students to create a surreal cityscape using small, medium, and large buildings with windows and doors, and incorporating at least three surreal objects in the foreground, middle ground, and background.

    TWO POINT PERSPECTIVE

    By Paula Sadler

    What are we learning?


    p

    Vocabulary
    n n n n

    Horizon line Vanishing point Vertical, horizontal, and orthogonal lines Surrealism

    How to start creating a drawing with two point perspective Final project Surreal Cityscape

    Vocabulary
    p

    Horizon line: where the sky meets the ground, a horizontal line Vanishing point: the place where all lines meet or vanish, it is located on the horizon line Horizontal line: a line that goes left to right, it is parallel to the horizon line

    More Vocabulary
    p

    Vertical line: a line that goes up and down, it is perpendicular to the horizon line Orthogonal line: lines that create the sides of an object in one point perspective, these lines are drawn to the vanishing point Surrealism: something that is real, but wouldnt occur in reality

    Lets get started


    p

    Draw a horizon line Put two vanishing

    across your paper


    p

    points on the horizon line, one on both sides of your paper

    Now draw a vertical line through the middle of your paper

    Connect the top and bottom of the vertical line to both of the vanishing points. We are creating the orthogonal lines.

    Now end the form with two vertical lines on each side.

    Erase the extra orthogonal lines at the top and the horizon line inside of the form. DO YOU SEE YOUR FIRST BUILDING?

    Lets try another one! Start with a vertical line on the left side of the building.

    Connect the top and bottom to each vanishing point.

    End the building with a vertical line.

    Erase the extra orthogonal lines and horizon line inside of the building.

    Lets do another one!

    Now for doors and windows! Start with a vertical line and connect it to the vanishing point.

    If your window or door is on the left side of your building, connect the vertical lines to the left vanishing point. The same goes for the right side.

    End the windows and doors with another vertical line.

    Erase the extra orthogonal lines.

    How about a sidewalk with a curb?
