Art 1 Perspective Vocab

Front 1

Perspective

Back 1

term for something that deals with the illusion of depth on a 2D surface

Front 2

The Two Basic Assumptions of Perspective

Back 2

1)objects in the distance appear to be smaller than those nearest to you
2)parallel lines or planes receding into the distance seem to meet at the same point

Front 3

Horizon Line/Eye Level

Back 3

separates the sky and the ground. It is an imaginary line exactly at the height of the viewer's eye

Front 4

One Point Perspective

Back 4

offers a front view and uses verticals, horizontals, consistent diagonals, and one vanishing point

Front 5

Two Point Perspective

Back 5

offers a corner view and uses vertical, consistent diagonals, and two vanishing points

Front 6

Ellipse

Back 6

a foreshadow circle drawn in perspective

Front 7

Vanishing Point

Back 7

determines the viewer's position and direction of sight. It is a reference point in perspective in which parallel lines in a subject converge

Front 8

Perspective Theory is Separated into Three Points

Back 8

1)Linear Perspective
2)Visual Perspective
3)Atmospheric Perspective

Front 9

Linear Perspective

Back 9

it refers to the apparent change in the size of things caused by distance. objects in the background or receding in the distance appear to get smaller

Front 10

Visual Perspective

Back 10

is a method of creating an illusion of three dimensions with an emphasis on overlapping. this is the easiest way to show depth.

Front 11

Atmospheric Perspective

Back 11

is a method of creating an illusion of three dimensions with an emphasis on the effect of diminishing value contrast, color intensity, and visible detail in a distant subject compared to a nearby subject
