This is an image of my first practice with one point perspective. I tried drawing a road that extends to a city. This was how I learned to draw cubes that are underneath the horizon line and rectangular prisms that are above the horizon line. Also, I learned about the vanishing point and how to draw the road connecting to that point. Linear perspective was first invented in 1415 during the Italian Renaissance. It is a type of perspective that shows depth in a picture and it created by having one point that everything in the foreground goes towards. The objects closer to the horizon line are smaller and the ones that are further away are larger. |
For my own project that used one point perspective, I watercolored an image of a landscape in which a path that leads to a house. The vanishing point of this picture was the door of the house and I showed the perspective by making both paths go diagonally towards the point, and the trees gradually smaller and more slender. My favorite part of this painting way the shadows of the trees and the texture in the background. If I did it again, I would change the house and make it a bit smaller and make the grass a less vibrant green. |
Lastly, also in the one point perspective unit, we made wall art. I worked on this project with Merry and we made mountains, sound waves, or anything based on the way it is interpreted. Our project didn't necessarily show one point perspective but it was interesting to see how the image changed based on the perspective of the camera. For example, when taken slightly to the side, the value became much more clear.
