1. Perspective

3. Terms to know Perspective
the science of painting and drawing so that objects represented have apparent depth and distance…

4. Linear Perspective Terms to know
a system of drawing or painting in which the artist attempts to create the illusion of spatial depth on a two-dimensional surface.

5. Picture Plane Terms to know
the imaginary window that frames the things you are attempting to draw or paint

6. where the sky meets the earth
Terms to know
Horizon Line
where the sky meets the earth

7. Terms to know
Eye Level
the horizontal level in line with your eyes when you’re looking straight ahead

8. Terms to know
Vanishing Point
the point at which all parallel lines meet and or vanish as they recede into the distance

9. parallel lines that appear to approach the same point on the horizon
Terms to know
Converging Lines
parallel lines that appear to approach the same point on the horizon

10. Terms to know
Overlap
the placement of one object in front of another to create the illusion of depth

11. Size and Space Variation
Terms to know
Size and Space Variation
the drawing of objects that are in reality equally sized and spaced objects so that they get smaller and closer together as they approach the horizon

12. Terms to know
Modeling
the shading and texturing of an object in a drawing or painting so that it appears to have form, depth, a front, sides and a back; there is something behind it if you could only see.

13. Terms to know
Color and Value Change
the use of a lighter value of color in the areas you want to appear further in the distance

14. Perspective

15. Rules of Thumb
Things appear to grow smaller as they recede into the distance
Vertical lines in 1 point perspective will always be parallel to the sides of your picture plane
Horizontal lines will only be parallel to the top and bottom of the page in 1 point perspective

19. Complementary Colors
Complementary colors are pairs of colors which, when combined, cancel each other out. This means that when combined, they produce a grey- scale color like white or black. When placed next to each other, they create the strongest contrast for those particular two colors.
