SKETCHING WEEK
This week we will spend our time learning to draw a variety of objects related to architecture. First is shapes and shadowing and then a perspective.
BASIC PERSPECTIVE
The Renaissance saw many advancements in math, science, and the arts. One was the use of perspective drawing. This drawing type gives a more realistic view. More like what we see with our eyes. The drawing is based on a Vanishing Point and a Horizon Line. The vanishing point is where your eyes are pointed. The horizon line the the level of your eyes on the background. Image you are looking into a picture frame. Then focus on a center point. That is your vanishing point. Then imagine a line running across the picture straight through the vanishing point. That line is the horizon line. From that point you have the organization for your drawing.
We travel the world in search of wonderful sites and buildings. As an architect you are part of creating new worlds.
