One-Point versus Two-Point Perspective
|
One Point Perspective
One point perspective shows how things appear to get smaller as they get further away, converging towards a sing 'vanishing point' on the horizon line. The Horizon line is the physical or visual boundary where the sky is separated from the land or water. It acts as the height of the viewer's eyes when looking at an object. |
Two Point Perspective
Two point perspective, also known as Linear Perspective, allow parallel lines along the width and depth of an object to meet at two separate points on the horizon line. Two point perspective allows for the objects to have more of a natural look while creating a true sense of space and depth. The Renaissance artist Leon Battista Alberti and architect Filippo Brunelleschi are credited with the 'invention' of linear perspective. |
