7th- Creating the Illusion of Space: Linear Perspective/Connected Boxes

There are many ways to create depth and show space on a 2d surface. Artists will take a look at the different ways we can achieve this effect.

1. Linear Perspective- By using either 1 point perspective2 point perspective, or 3 point perspective, an artist can create the illusion of space.  Linear perspective is a drawing method that uses lines to draw objects in space.
2. Overlapping- When one object is positioned in front of another object, part of the object behind it may be blocked from view.  This is called overlapping. 
3. Size- Objects that are closer to a viewer appear larger than objects that are further off in the distance.
4. Placement on the Surface- Generally, objects that are positioned lower on the picture plane will appear closer than objects that are positioned higher on the picture plane.
5. Color and Value- Objects that are closer to a viewer appear darker in value and warmer incolor.  Objects that are further away appear lighter in value and cooler in color.
6. Detail- Objects that are closer appear more detailed than objects that are further away.
Six ways to create the illusion of space are illustrated in this video...





DAY 1-2:

After watching the video, use the worksheet to draw 6 complete drawings in the sections provided that show the six ways to create space. These should be complete drawings in full color.



DAY 3-6:

Connected Boxes

Your linear perspective project will task you with drawing 5 to 7 boxes in linear perspective and then connecting  them with some sort of line (rope, water hose, yarn, etc.)


Here is a simple example. Notice the step by step instructions along the right side of the example.







Here is my example with some step by step pictures below:














Here are a couple more links with a bunch of examples of this project.
