    Basic Perspective Study Group Lesson 1

    This document provides an introduction to basic perspective in art. It discusses key terms like convergent lines, diminution, and foreshortening that are used to create the illusion of 3D space on a 2D surface. It notes that Philippe Brunelleschi is credited with inventing linear perspective through experiments using mirrors in the early 15th century. The document then defines important angle and line terms and explains the "means" or techniques used to depict perspective, including diminution, convergence, foreshortening, overlapping, and aerial perspective. It emphasizes breaking objects down into their simple underlying shapes as a foundation for rendering forms with depth and texture.

    Basic Perspective Study

    Group LESSON 1
    INTRO AND TERMS
    By: BitterBunn
    Introdution
     Perspective: from Latin: perspicere 'to see through’ It’s the illusion of 3d
    dimension into a 2d plain, it allows us to have a sense of space or depth
    into a painting,drawing or scene, this type of skill is one of the
    fundamentals of arts since with this skill it will allow us to draw almost
    anything.

     Without this skill like in ancient times our illustration, draws or paint
    will look flat or weird. Ex: next page
    Giotto
    1267-1337 BC.
    Who Invented Perspective?
     Philippe Brunelleschi: (1377-1446) Arquitech, Sculptor and Artist he invented an experiment that
    conducted into the Discovery of linear perspective, this experiment involved mirrors to sketch
    building in florence and bapestry in perfect perspective, with the uses of convergent lines he was
    able to mathematically calculate the scale of objects in painting to make them appear realistic (dont
    worry we are not gonna actually use math c;)
    Terms Lesson 1

    ➢ Right Angle: A right angle is an angle that is ➢ Parallel: Two lines that are infinite and they
    exactly equal to 90 degrees, perpendicular never touch each other

    ➢ Obtuse Angle: Anything bigger than 90°


    ➢ Oblique Angle: Any line that is not parallel (an open angle aswell
    or right angle

    Side note: Oblique


    lines will always have
    main line as reference
    Terms Lesson 1
    ➢ Acute Angle: smaller tan 90°, Sharp ➢ Intersection: When two lines meet
    angles Side note: The only
    lines that do not
    meet are parallel

    Side note: Acute and


    Obtuse angles are Oblique
    So, whats the trick to perspective?
    ➢ Tangent: its when a curve (or a circle)
    touches a line this ones can be consider more
    Side note: They create
    like MEANS to create perspective
    tension we see this in
    composition aswell,
    avoid them unless
    porpurly done
    Terms Lesson 1
    MEANS

    ❖ Diminution: When an object gets far ❖ Foreshortening: When an object gets


    away his size becomes smaller at sight tilted it appear to be smaller at sight

    ❖ Convergence: when parallel lines tilt they ❖ Overlaping: Its when one object is on
    converge at an specific place in the horizon front of another object making the illusion
    line of depth
    Side note: Overlapping is comonly
    use on human figure and
    composition, in composition is
    commonly use to give importance to
    certain objects/creatures
    Terms Lesson 1
    ❖ Aerial: In this case air has to do with the Simple shapes:
    perspective, if an object is far away it will
    get foggy the father it goes, losing power They are the base of all with shapes we can build
    in contrast, value, intensity and clarity everything, we create the illusion of forms, we
    (blurry) morph this forms to draw anything, most used
    shapes are:

    Side note: Use structure to reduce things


    to simple shapes, like a human head or
    any near by object.

    Side note: when using Areial perspective the highlight (the the lighting is what it brings form to our
    brigthets part of a Paint) as farther the object goes, as shapes, by knowing where light and
    greish it becomes, same with shadow (the darkest part of a shadow are coming we can bring define
    Paint) and same with color contrast form to our shapes
    Terms Lesson 1
     Multiple Views: while using shapes is good to know their different types of
    view in space so we can storage them on our visual library and we could
    utilized them on different objects, it can also help us know how to render a
    certain form to give them depth. Curve edges will have a more soft blended Side note: The model under
    shadow, different from hard edges that will have a more hard shadow is by Marshall Vandruff,
    notice how he uses simple
    shapes to create complex
    machinary
    Assignment

     Find images or pictures about the 5 means of perspective.


     Make at least 5 different shape views (any shape)
     Take a few images of objects or scenaries and trace over them finding their simple shapes,
    the complexity is up to you
