Linear Perspective


Your goal is to create an artwork that demonstrates at least 30 accurate forms in linear perspective. You can use two- or three-point.

12" x 18" paper, media of your choice

To begin, consider the composition. Do you want to use letters? Do you want to create a floating architectural form?

Some tips (1-4, courtesy of Ken Vieth):
  1. Use your sketchbook to work out small thumbnail drawings for complex forms
  2. Add width to individual letters/forms using the same vanishing points.
  3. If using two-point, remember that verticals stay vertical. Three-point means that all verticals go to the third vanishing points.
  4. You are encouraged to overlap, interlock, and pierce your forms.
  5. Your work will be assessed on accuracy, creativity, and craftsmanship.
