G 6-7- Prspective in Visual Art

1. Perspective
The art of representing three-
dimensional objects on a two-
dimensional surface so as to convey
the impression of height, width, depth,
and relative distance. The appearance
of viewed objects with regard to their
relative position, distance from the
viewer, etc.

3. Characteristics of linear and aerial perspective
LINEAR PERSPECTIVE
 The two most important characteristic features
of linear perspective are that the objects are
drawn:
- smaller as their distance from the observer
increases.
- Foreshortened: The size of an object’s
dimensions along the line of sight are relatively
shorter than the dimensions across the line of
sight.

4. Characteristics of linear and aerial perspective
AERIAL PERSPECTIVE
Perspective refers to the effect the
atmosphere has on the appearance of an object
as it is viewed from a distance. As the distance
between an object and a viewer increases,
the contrast between the object and its
background decreases, and the contrast of any
marking or detail within the object also
decreases. The colours of the object also
become less saturated and shift towards the
background colour, which is usually blue, but
under some conditions, may be some other
colour (for example, at sunrise or sunset distant
colours may shift towards red).

The colours of the object also become
less saturated and shift towards the background colour,
which is usually blue,

colour (for example, at sunrise or sunset
distant colours may shift towards red).
