One Point Linear Perspective

Class began with  critique of the Color Schemes project followed by a slide lecture and demonstration on One Point Linear Perspective. Linear perspective establishes the viewer's location and position within the picture plane while creating the illusion of spatial depth. The main things to remember with linear perspective are:
1. Establish the horizon line (eye level).
2. Maintain a fixed point of view.
2. Parallel lines will converge at points located on the horizon line. The "vanishing points" are always located on the horizon line.
3. Objects will appear to diminish in size as they recede towards the horizon line and vanishing points.
