Blog Summary on Perspective Painting

I would like to start off by saying that this was a very time-consuming project but not in a negative way. There were a lot of steps to go through and each one required a lot of time. The first step and probably the most important step in this project was to learn perspective drawing. Everyone in the class was comfortable with one-point perspective including me because we did it last year. However, two-point perspective was new to me and it took a couple of classes for me to get accustomed with it. We sketched both perspectives on large pieces of paper, which are in my folder. In my opinion, that was a very good start for me because I touched up on some of my old skills and learned something new. The second step in the project was a go through the PowerPoint's that Ms. Cockburn showed us later in the unit. From these PowerPoint's we were supposed to gather ideas and make thumbnail sketches. From my thumbnail sketches, I decided that for my Perspective painti...

The idea of all the lines meeting at one vanishing points gives an illusion of depth on the picture plane, and that is what my painting was all about. Looking at the renascence period I decided to use a painting by an anonymous source, Painting of an Ideal City This reference was helpful because in my painting the vanishing point was also the door in the middle: You can see from my drawing all the lines meet up to the dot at the bottom of the door. Therefore, that dot is my vanishing point. If we look at the painting from the renascence period it is the same all the lines meet at the top of the door. These two examples create an illusion of depth on the picture plane. The second technique I would l...
