In today’s drawing class we learnt about perspective. Perspective is the art of representing three-dimensional objects on a two-dimensional surface so as to give the right impression of their height, width, depth, and position in relation to each other.
In the first half of the class, our teacher explained us one point perspective. One point perspective is a drawing method that shows how things appear to get smaller as they get further away, converging towards a single ‘vanishing point‘ on the horizon line. We had to make a composition using different shapes or alphabets. I made a composition using different shapes.
In the second half of the class, we were explained about two point perspective. Two point perspective can be named as liner perspective in which parallel lines along the width and depth of an object are represented as meeting at two separate points on the horizon. We were then asked to draw anything we want using two point perspective and I sketched a house.
Though I have sketched using one point perspective before, two point was new for me and I had never tried before. I could bring out both of my sketches really well today and I understood the meaning of perspective properly. Our assignment is to complete two more sketches using both the perspectives. In the next class, our teacher will be talking on three-point perspective.
