Showing Perspective • During the Renaissance, artists searched for ways to make 2-D paintings look like they were in a 3-D space. • Linear perspective is the technique for representing 3-D space on a flat surface. Objects which are closer appear to be larger; objects more distant appear smaller. • Perspective is anchored in a vanishing point situated on a horizon line. • Let’s look at perspective in Raphael’s painting, The School of Athens.

14. Today’s Project:Drawing with Perspective Linear Perspective is a technique for representing three-dimensional space on a flat surface. • Perspective – the appearance of a distant object to an observer • One-point perspective – objects are seen face on a drawn to a single vanishing point. • Vanishing point – the point at which the eye is drawn to in a picture or scene • Horizon line – a horizontal line that creates the top and bottom or front and back of a picture • Orthogonal line – lines drawn from object to the vanishing point on each point to create the vision of depth

18. Orthogonals are lines that lead to the vanishing point
