Art Techniques and Concepts

Front

What is overlapping in art?

Back

Overlapping is when objects are placed in front of one another; the object in the front appears closer.

Front

What is high and low placement in art?

Back

High and low placement refers to the positioning of objects to create depth, with objects placed higher appearing further away.

Front

What is 2 point perspective?

Back

2 point perspective is the most complicated method for showing depth, involving two vanishing points.

Front

What is aerial perspective?

Back

Aerial perspective is a view from above where color intensity changes to make things appear to go back in the distance.

Front

What is orthogonal drawing?

Back

Orthogonal drawing is the method of drawing three-dimensional objects on a two-dimensional plane.

Front

What is a vertical line in art?

Back

A vertical line stands at a right angle to the horizon line.

Front

What is the horizon line in art?

Back

The horizon line is a line that goes side to side on the paper and separates the ground from the sky.

Front

What is one point perspective?

Back

One point perspective has one vanishing point.

Front

What is the vanishing point in perspective drawing?

Back

The vanishing point is where receding parallel lines converge, located on the horizon line in realistic perspective drawing.

Front

What is the difference between objects that appear closer and those that appear further in perspective drawing?

Back

Objects that appear closer are big and near the bottom of the picture plane, while objects that appear further are small and near the horizon line.
