Subject Matter
Perspective
 Aerial perspective refers to the technique of creating
an illusion of depth by depicting distant objects as
paler, less detailed, and (usually) bluer than near
objects.
 Frans Koppelaar
 Landscape near
Bologna
Perspective
 One Point - One vanishing point is typically used for
roads, railroad tracks, or buildings viewed so that the
front is directly facing the viewer.
Perspective
 Two-point perspective - used to draw the same
objects as one-point perspective, rotated: looking at
the corner of a house, or looking at two forked roads
shrink into the distance
Perspective
 Three-point perspective - usually used for buildings
seen from above (or below). In addition to the two
vanishing points from before, one for each wall,
there is now one for how those walls recede into the
ground. This third vanishing point will be below the
ground.
