THE ELEMENT OF
SPACE
--the area around an object
6 WAYS TO CREATE SPACE
• OVERLAPPING- PLACING ONE OBJECT IN
FRONT OF OR BEHIND A 2ND OBJECT TO
SHOW DEPTH
• SIZE- LARGE OBJECTS APPEAR CLOSER,
SMALLER OBJECTS APPEAR FURTHER AWAY
• DETAILS- MORE DETAILS TO OBJECTS
CLOSER, LESS DETAILS TO OBJECTS FURTHER
AWAY
6 WAYS TO CREATE SPACE
• PLACEMENT- OBJECTS DRAWN LOWER DOWN IN
THE PICTURE PLANE APPEAR CLOSER, HIGHER UP
APPEAR FURTHER AWAY.
• AERIAL PERSPECTIVE – USING LESS DETAILS AND
LOWER INTENSE COLORS FOR OBJECTS IN THE
DISTANCE, BRIGHTER COLORS FOR OBJECTS
CLOSER UP.
• LINEAR PERSPECTIVE – SLANTING LINES AND
MAKING OBJECTS GO BACK TO A VANISHING
POINT ON A HORIZON LINE.
WHAT IS PERSPECTIVE?
• YOUR POINT OF VIEW ON SOMETHING
• HOW YOU SEE THINGS FROM WHERE YOU
ARE
– the way in which objects appear to the eye

OVERLAPPING
PLACING ONE OBJECT IN FRONT OF
OR BEHIND A 2ND OBJECT TO SHOW
DEPTH
SIZE
DETAILS
PLACEMENT
AERIAL PERSPECTIVE
-view from above looking down
LINEAR PERSPECTIVE
- your point of view on a line
VANISHING POINT – the point on the
horizon line where all lines meet. Also
our eye level.
VANISHING POINT
PERSPECTIVE VOCABULARY
• HORIZON LINE- WHERE EARTH AND SKY MEET
• VERTICAL LINE- LINES THAT RUN UP AND DOWN
• HORIZONTAL LINE- LINES THAT RUN ACROSS LEFT
TO RIGHT
• DIAGONAL LINE- LINES THAT SLANT
• PARALLEL LINES- LINES THAT NEVER INTERSECT
• PERPINDICULAR LINES- LINES THAT INTERSECT
AND FORM A 90 DEGREE ANGLE.
