We did some mechanical drawing with a straight edge and a 45-45-90 triangle to create two point perspective drawings that were above, on, and below an established horizon.
We discussed some vocabulary as well:
- Picture Plane - is the surface or area of the paper that we will draw or paint on.
- Vanishing Point - the location at which parallel lines recede to.
- Horizon Line - This is a horizontal line that goes across the picture plane. Generally this is at eye level. We can also see this where the sky and earth seem to touch.
- Perpendicular - two lines which meet or intersect at a right angle are perpendicular to each other.
If you missed today we will have to get you caught up in creating a two point perspective drawing!
