Understanding Art Perspective Techniques

The document discusses different types of perspective techniques used in art including atmospheric perspective, one point perspective, and two point perspective. Atmospheric perspective creates an illusion of depth by blurring or fading colors and details in the background. One point perspective involves objects receding to a single vanishing point on the horizon line. Two point perspective uses two vanishing points with lines receding toward each point to depict a space. Examples and exercises are provided to practice applying these perspective techniques.

Atmospheric/Aerial Perspective
Creating an illusion of depth by slightly blurring or hazing the
background with less intense color.
Atmospheric/Aerial Perspective
Foreground- Images appear clear and are larger.
Middle ground - Images appear less detail and smaller.
Background Images appear hazy and undefined.

One Point Perspective
Objects recede back to one vanishing point on the horizon
line.
Practice one point perspective

Draw a horizon line in the middle of


your paper.
Place a dot (vanishing point) on the
horizon line.
Draw 4 geometric shapes around the
paper.
Draw 4 organic shapes around the
paper.
Take each shape back to the
vanishing point.
Two Point Perspective
A line that recedes back to two vanishing points on
the horizon.
Practice two point perspective
