1pt perspective

A

used when drawing rectangular solids that have facing planes that are paraelle to the picture plane

17
Q

paraelle edges that recede to space will all

A

convert to same vanishing point

18
Q

vanishing point it located

19
Q

perspective grid

A

a matrix. made up of lines on paper that convert to vanishing point

20
Q

linear perspective is a tool to

A

draw what they see correctly

21
Q

the diagonials of any shape or rectangle will always intersect

22
Q

if a square or rectangle is seen foreshortened the perspective midpoint

A

can be found with diagonals

23
Q

how to draw equally spaced receding elements

A

sketch 2 verticals that go to vanishing point
draw diagonals both ways the find mid pt. draw line frm MP, to VP.

24
Q

Visual Ray (VR)

A

path of light

25
Central Visual Ray
straight line of sight
26
Diminution
things get smaller with distance
27
Foreshortening
guide lines to vanishing points
28
Atmospheric perspective:
Close = sharp, high contrast Far = soft, low contrast
29
Chiaroscuro
light → dark shading for 3D form
30
What is the purpose of varying line weights in a drawing?
To create depth, hierarchy, and clarity, helping distinguish: Foreground vs background Visible vs hidden edges Important vs secondary elements
31
Which lines are typically drawn the lightest? A. Contour lines B. Construction lines C. Profile edges D. Section cuts
Construction lines
32
In a perspective drawing, which edges should have heavier line weight?
Edges closest to the viewer Outer contours (silhouette edges)
33
Why would you use a heavier line weight on the bottom edge of an object?
Contact with the ground Weight and stability Slight shadow/visual grounding
34
Line weight variation helps create the illusion of ______ in a 2D drawing.
Depth
