Objectives

  1. Differentiate between shape and mass
  2. Describe how 3-D space is represented on a flat surface using perspective
  3. Explain why modern artists challenge representing 3D on 2D

Perspective - A means of representing depth of space on a flat surface.

Negative Space

  • Empty spaces that acquire a sense of volume and form by means of the outline or frame that surrounds them.

Linear Perspective

One-Point Linear Perspective - Imagine the CoolMathGames ‘Run’ game. Where lines are pointed into the horizon (into the screen) giving a sense of depth.

Two-Point Linear Perspective - Two vanishing points in a composition.
