Geometry and Perspective Drawing
Author: Marsha Davis, Pat Taylor
The activities in this Pull-Out explore the geometry of perspective drawing that is used to create depth in a picture.
In question 1 of Activity 1, students discover several principles of perspective drawing. The remainder of the activity deals with the principle of overlapping.
Activity 2 focuses on the principle of diminution and the scale of an image in a drawing.
In Activity 3 students study the principle of convergence (a consequence of diminution). They discover that horizontal lines not parallel to the picture plane converge to a point.
In Activity 4 students construct both a non-perspective view and a perspective view of a wall with windows of equal size.
