linear perspective - a system used to create the illusion of depth by depicting the way parallel lines appear to converge as they recede in space.
horizon line - the distant line that seperates the ground plane from the sky or atmosphere.
converging lines - lines which appear to come together (converge) at a point on the horizon line called a vanishing point.
vanishing point - the point on the horizon line at which converging lines appear to meet.
eye-level line - an imaginary line created when one envisions a distant horizontal line which corresponds, and is parallel to, ones line of sight.
In todays class we will have a demonstration of one-point and two point linear perspective. Time permitting this will be followed by a demonstration on how to determine eye - level. In addition to your 18" x 24" drawing pad, pencils and erasures you will also need your 18" ruler for todays class
CLASS 13 - 23 October
Weather permitting we will be outside for todays class. We will meet at Pulaski Square. This is when you need a masonite drawing board (listed on the syllabus), you will also need your 18" x 24" drawing pad, ruler, pencil, erasures and view-finder. In additioin you want to bring a towel or blanket to sit on, bug spray, sun-glasses and any drink or snack that you might want. There is a SCAD building at Pulaski Square so there is a restroom accessable.
The research paper assignment is due on Class 17.
I have also added an additional research link that is very useful for this assignment at the bottom of the first page. The new link is the Web Art Gallery link.
