perspective

4. One point perspective
• With conic perspective we can
draw reality the way we see it.
• It is just the way that a camera
captures reality.
• Conic perspective is a method
that gives us the sensation of
distance and depth in a flat
support.
• It is an optical illusion.

5. One point perspective
• When we look at a group of
parallel lines that escape and
we want to draw them, we do
not draw them parallel, but
instead we draw them meeting
at one point.
• We call this point the vanishing
point.

6. Basic elements in linear perspective
• Point of view: It is the observer’s eye.
• Horizon line: The height of this line coincides with the height
of the point of view.
• Ground line: It is a theoretical line that help us to draw the
figures. The distance between the horizon line and the
ground line is the height of the observer.
• Vanishing point: It is always on the horizon line.
• Distance points: They are the vanishing points of the lines
that form 45º with the representation plane
