Activity 2.2 Perspective Sketching
In activity 2.2 we learned about one point and two point perspective sketching. In perspective sketching, objects are drawn from one or more vanishing points. Vanishing points are points on the horizon that help create depth in a perspective sketch. Perspective sketching is the most realistic type of sketching there is.
Conclusion Questions
1. What is a vanishing point? A vanishing point is a point in space, usually located on the horizon, where parallel edges of an object appear to converge.
2. Aside from the number of vanishing points, what is the difference between a one-point, two-point, and three-point perspective sketch? The difference between one-point, two-point, and three-point perspective sketching is one-point perspective sketches start with the inner edge of the object or the back edge of the object, two-point perspective sketches start with the object's from edge, and three-point perspective sketches give either the worm's eye view or the bird's eye view of an object.
3. How does a perspective drawing differ from an isometric drawing of the same object? When would you use a perspective view in lieu of an isometric drawing? A perspective drawing differs from an isometric drawing of the same object is that an isometric drawing's three sides connect at a point and are angled at 120 degrees each whereas perspective drawings are fully drawn based on vanishing points. A would use a perspective view in lieu of an isometric drawing if I was trying to create the most realistic drawing or if I was trying to draw a building.
