PErspective
Perspective is a Principle for art and design. The rules of perspective state that things get smaller as they recede into the distance.
Linear perspective is a mathematical system for creating the illusion of space and distance on a flat surface. Think about those line drawing of roads that disappear into the distance. The system originated in Florence, Italy in the early 1400s. The artist and architect Brunelleschi demonstrated its principles, but another architect and writer, Leon Battista Alberti was first to write down rules of linear perspective for artists to follow.

We will begin by discussing and looking at examples of perspective by renaissance artists and M.C. Escher. Together we will find the perspective lines and vanishing point of each picture. Following out discussion of Linear perspective students will choose a street scene photo that exhibits one point perspective. Just as we did in the discussion students will find the vanishing point of their picture as well as perspective lines. They will add overlays of color that highlights the pictures perspective.
Project 1: One Point Perspective City Street color project

Project 2: Perspective into space (to infinity and Beyond!)
Using our knowledge of 1 point perspective, vanishing points, and Photoshop we are going to create a perspective space vortex portrait! You will have to cut up a portrait and rearrange the pieces to illustrate it going back in space to a vanishing point.
Step one: Choose a Person to which you are going to create a portrait portrait musts

Step two: Find a Space Picture Background must
Step three: Arrange the picture so it appears to have a vanishing point |
Objectives1.have a portrait of a person related to space
2. Demonstrates a 1 point perspective 3. shows a mastery of Photoshop and it's filters and overlays 4. |
