Hello Class!
NEXT week we will explore the Narrative Element of POINT OF VIEW as a story telling device. In order to give you a little extra help drawing your scenes from different points of view, you need to learn a little PERSPECTIVE!
One Point Perspective or Parallel Perspective point perspective works well for situations like the one below, where the viewer is oriented directly in front of a set of parallel lines like railroad tracks or a long hallway.
But what if you want to show the viewer something from an angle?
Two point perspective uses two vanishing points set well apart on the horizon line. The rule of thumbs here is sets of parallel lines must be either vertical or recede toward one of the two vanishing points.
