Overview
[dictionary] The technique of representing three-dimensional objects and depth relationships on a two-dimensional surface.
[wikipedia]Is an approximate representation, on a flat surface (such as paper), of an image as it is seen by the eye
Characteristic features Smaller as their distance from the observer increasesForeshortened: the size of an object's dimensions along the line of
sight are relatively shorter than dimensions across the line of sight
Brief History
Albrecht Durer He said that if two painters were to draw a scene from two different angles, the paintings would be different but then, what would they have in common?
Perspective developed during the renaissance
period
Filippo Brunelleschione of the foremost architects and engineers of the RenaissanceInvented artistic linear perspective

Objectivity Dictionary
Vanishing pointthe point at which parallel lines receding from an observer seem to converge
Picture plane or painting platethe appearance of things relative to one another as determined by their distance to the viewer
Axisa reference line from which distances or angles are measured in a coordinate system
Types of Perspective
1.One-point perspective2.Two-point perspective3.Three-point perspective4.Four-point perspective5.Zero-point perspective6.Foreshortening
One-point perspective
Characteristics-one vanishing point is present-one-point perspective is present when the scene drawn is composed of-line segments which intersect only at right angles
Applications- one-point perspective can be used when subject is made up of lines which are either parallel with the viewer’s line of sight or perpendicular
How to
Draw a horizontal line
Indicate vanishing point in the horizontal line
Draw desired shape
Draw lines from the shape’s corners to vanishing point
Draw vertical and horizontal lines to finish desired shape

Two-point perspective
Characteristics-two vanishing points are present
-one point represents a set of parallel lines-other point represents the other set
-to make things easy, imagine you are in a junction
Applications-scenes wherein one-point perspective is used but rotated-corner of a building, book, box, two forked roads
How to
Draw guide lines (horizontal and vertical)
Indicate left and right vanishing points
Draw desired height of object (vertical)
Draw lines from tips to vanishing points

Three-point perspective
Characteristics-three vanishing points are present-two points (from two-point perspective) one for each wall-third vanishing point is used for how those walls vanish into the ground
Applications-used for buildings seen from above or below
Four-point perspective
Characteristics-two vanishing points are present
-one point represents a set of parallel lines-other point represents the other set
-to make things easy, imagine you are in a junction
Applications-scenes wherein one-point perspective is used but rotated-corner of a building, book, box, two forked roads
Zero-point perspective
Characteristics-two vanishing points are present
-one point represents a set of parallel lines-other point represents the other set
-to make things easy, imagine you are in a junction
Applications-scenes wherein one-point perspective is used but rotated-corner of a building, book, box, two forked roads
Foreshortening
Characteristics-two vanishing points are present
-one point represents a set of parallel lines-other point represents the other set
-to make things easy, imagine you are in a junction
Applications-scenes wherein one-point perspective is used but rotated-corner of a building, book, box, two forked roads
Parallel projections
- Projections wherein parallel lines remain parallel.-Ratios of distances between two different points (in a line) are preserved.- Three types: elevation, oblique projections, and isometric projections.
DO WE REALLY SEE THESE FIGURES WHEN WE LOOK AT A NORMAL HOUSE?
WHY OR WHY NOT?This is where perspective comes in…
TRivia
The cone of vision is only thirty degrees about the axis so the vanishing points of a cube at both sides can’t be seen at the same time.
Vanishing Points
- Since two parallel lines never intersect, these ‘vanishing points’ do not really exist in three-space, so where are they located?-A solution to this problem was introduced by Desargues.
- He introduced the idea that “points at infinity” exist.
Points at In
finity
- It is also called the ideal point.- The union of the number line and its point at
infinity will yield a closed curve. (the real projective line)- All lines now intersect, including parallel lines.
