Point of view- (persepctive) Drawing

Also means point of view

the way you see or understand things around you

• You can create the illusion of perspective

• this can be done with vanishing points

• this can also be done with color, lines, pattern, composition, lighting, words, symbolism, points........the list goes on and on.......

2-dimensions versus 3-dimensions

• flat

• height

• length

• Height

• length

• depth (also known as width)

• 2-D lacks depth

• depth is what you learn in math class as width

• 
  

• it creates depth

• it is like real life

it helps create the depth in a drawing for you (if you use it right)

like a point that things vanish off to, which make objects get smaller

• means "this is not an apple"

• take a moment think about this "perspective" or point of view

Taking the Evening Cool by Ryōgoku Bridge (1745), Okumura Masanobu

This early example of an uki-e print uses Western-style perspective for the interior, but more traditional Japanese technique for the exterior.

• Drawn to a vanishing point

• Take a moment to see if you can figure out where the 1 vanishing point could be (kind of looks like a drawing we did in class)
