Activity Breif-2.2
Introduction
If you can stand on a straight road and look down the road, it appears as if the sides of the road eventually narrow to one point. The center of the road vanishes when the road meets the horizon. If the road is straight enough and long enough, the sides of the road not only look like they are converging to a single point, but the road seems to appear to vanish as it meets the horizon. A similar effect occurs if you stare upward from the base of a tall building. The vertical edges of the building will appear to angle in toward each other. This effect is called perspective.
The human eye sees the world in perspective. Objects that are further away from the eye appear smaller, and edges appear to recede into the distance. Perspective sketches depict objects in much the same way that the human eye sees the world.
There are three different types of perspective drawings: one-point, two-point, and three-point perspective. The different types of sketches are frequently used by architects, industrial designers, and illustrators when representing large scale objects or environments in which the effect of distance must be taken into consideration.
In this activity, you will practice your sketching skills by generating perspective views based on provided isometric views of objects. You will also apply your skills by creating one-point and two-point perspective of other imagined or real objects that you choose.
Conclusion
1. What is a vanishing point?
A vanishing point is where the horizon line connects and doesn't show the line anymore
2. Aside from the number of vanishing points, what is the difference between a one-point, two-point, and three-point perspective sketch?
The difference between these points is that they are shown by different angles or point of views
3. How does a perspective drawing differ from an isometric drawing of the same object?
A perspective drawing is different than a Isometric drawing because isometric shows equal measure.
4. When would you use a perspective view in lieu of an isometric drawing?
You would use a perspective drawing when you are drawing buildings from the angles/side and a isometric drawing when your trying to show something from the birds eye view
