2. WHAT IS PERSPECTIVE?
Perspective - is a technique that uses a set
of rules to create an illusion of depth. This
allows objects to appear as if they are
receding, the further away the objects are.
Its a way of showing distances in a drawing
or painting.

3. EXAMPLE

4. EXAMPLE

6. •HORIZON LINE- is the viewer’s eye level in
the picture.
TERMS TO KNOW IN PERSPECTIVE

7. •CONVERGING LINES - are implied lines that project at
the sides of an object back into space. They always come
together or at the vanishing point

8. •Examples of the converging lines in several pictures.

9. •VANISHING POINT – this is always on the
horizon line and it is where all the lines seem to
meet.
It is where all things appear to disappear. It
represents an infinite distance away.

11. TYPES OF PERSPECTIVE
1.One point perspective.
2.Two point perspective.
3. Three point perspective

12. (1) ONE POINT PERSPECTIVE
THIS IS WHEN THE IMAGE CONTAINS
ONLY ONE VANISHING POINT ON THE
HORIZON LINE.

13. THIS TYPE OF PERSPECTIVE IS TYPICALLY USED
FOR IMAGES OF ROADS, RAILWAY TRACKS,
HALLWAYS, OR BUILDINGS VIEWED SO THAT THE
FRONT IS DIRECTLY FACING THE VIEWER.

15. (2) TWO POINT PERSPECTIVE
In this type of perspective, there exist two points from
which an object’s lines radiate from. In short the
organization of the image has two vanishing points
and the illusion of depth can be observed on sides.

17. (3) THREE POINT PERSPECTIVE
In three-point perspective there are 3 vanishing
points. Two on the horizon line; and the other can
exists above or below the horizon line that the vertical
lines disappear to.
