Perspective drawing is a technique of drawing that allows the artist to show objects in three dimensions. Artists invented linear perspective in the 1500's and helped begin the Renaissance period of history. Before perspective was invented, many artists tried to represent depth and space in their artworks using common techniques such as overlapping shaped to show that objects can exist in froont of each other. They also placed small objects in the distance and large objects in the foreground. However, sometimes these techniques did not accurately represent space as we are used to see it today in art.
We hope you will explore our site to see some historical examples of perspective development, to learn how one and two point perspective drawing techniques are used, to see what we did in class to explore perspective around our school, and check out additional links related to perspective drawing.
