9. 2 MAIN TYPES OF P ERSPECTIVE Empirical Perspective relies on observation, not a set of rules Uses angles, intersection points, plumb lines, and visual measurement (1:1 Ratio) (what we used for the still life drawings) Linear Perspective Uses a scientific method as a set of rules to draw forms in a realistic 3D way on a 2D surface (your paper)

10. Illustrations of the picture plane or your 2D piece of paper

11. Linear Perspective is attributed to Filippo Brunelleschi, an Italian Early Renaissance artist. The use of Perspective began c. 1450 CE Artists began to see the picture plane as a transparent window through which the observer looks to see the constructed pictorial world. “rationalization of sight” Look “through” a picture in to the painted “world” Trompe l’oeil = “trick of the eye” the eye is tricked into believing that a painting is real, how realistic something looks

12. O NE P OINT P ERSPECTIVE Used to draw and create forms with planes that are parallel to the picture plane and viewer The front plane of the object is closest to you

13. T WO P OINT P ERSPECTIVE Used to draw and create forms without planes parallel to the picture plane and viewer The edge is the closest to you
