#1-point perspective

RENDERINGS...

5th Grade Abbey Road

I teamed up with the music teacher to prepare some artwork for the spring concert. This years theme was,  “Rock and Roll Forever.” The 5th Grade students were singing a Beatles song, so I thought I could combine the “Abbey Road” album cover and 1-Point Perspective.

The 5th grade put so much effort into this lesson!

Linear perspective in the graphic arts, such as drawing, is an approximate representation, on a flat surface (such as paper), of an image as it is seen by the eye. A characteristic feature of perspective is that objects are drawn smaller as their distance from the observer increases. The observer's view is specific to a unique position in space. Another characteristic of linear perspective is the vanishing point. It is a point in the horizon where parallel-horizontal lines seem to converge and disappear. The horizon line runs across the canvas at the eye level of the viewer. The horizon line is where the sky appears to meet the ground. There are three types of linear perspective: 1. One-Point Perspective

2. Two-Point Perspective
