PErspective
Perspective is a Principle for art and design. The rules of perspective state that things get smaller as they recede into the distance.
Linear perspective is a mathematical system for creating the illusion of space and distance on a flat surface. Think about those line drawing of roads that disappear into the distance. The system originated in Florence, Italy in the early 1400s. The artist and architect Brunelleschi demonstrated its principles, but another architect and writer, Leon Battista Alberti was first to write down rules of linear perspective for artists to follow.

We will begin by discussing and looking at examples of perspective by renaissance artists and M.C. Escher. Together we will find the perspective lines and vanishing point of each picture. Following out discussion of Linear perspective students will choose a street scene photo that exhibits one point perspective. Just as we did in the discussion students will find the vanishing point of their picture as well as perspective lines. They will add overlays of color that highlights the pictures perspective.

Project 2: Line ARCHITECTURE
What is architecture
"The profession of designing buildings, open areas, communities, and other artificial constructions and environments, usually with some regard to aesthetic effect. Architecture often includes design or selection of furnishings and decorations, supervision of construction work, and the examination, restoration, or remodeling of existing buildings."https://medium.com/@AAA_Publication/what-is-architecture-1b52f5339c2a Architecture is the design of structures, homes. skyscrapers, buildings, etc. While it is a practical type of art where designers must be aware and adhere to practical constraints like Gravity and structure the overall design is based in aesthetics, how it looks and therefor is a art form. It is arguably one of the most common forms of art! "Architecture is everywhere. Each and every building: home, school, office, hospital and supermarket were designed for their particular purpose. It is of vital importance that these buildings, and in turn the environments they form and the neighborhoods and cities they are a part of, are designed to be the best possible buildings for their specific context, use and the people who use them." https://medium.com/@AAA_Publication/what-is-architecture-1b52f5339c2a Assignment 1: 100 word paragraphBased in the information above and on your own research answer the following questions in a well crafted paragraph,
Perspective in ARCHITECTURE drawingsWhy is perspective important to architects when they are illustrating their designs? Why would it be important that a proposed building for real life construction looks actuate and structurally stable?
When it comes to design wither it be buildings, interiors or even care the product or invention goes through a few stages of creation. it is in this process that our answer is. "Why is perspective important to designs" First the designer brainstorms their design, how and what is their building going to look like, This happens by sketches. These sketches typically dont look like much and the action of sketching is more important as it allows the designer to think through and conceive their design. The second stage its rendering their idea for approval. The difference between and artist and designer is typically with a designer there is a client involved, someone who is backing financially the design project. IE GM is has designers whom design cars for them. Those designers must propose their ideas to GM officials for approval. |
