• SHAPE: The outline of something’s form. A series of lines that connect to enclose space.

• SPACE: The area that is taken up by an object or the area that surrounds it.

• LINE: The distance, drawn or imaginary, from point A to point B.• LINE QUALITY: How a line is drawn. The style of a line.• SKETCHING: Quick drawing to develop initial ideas.• HORIZON LINE: The imaginary line that separates the sky from the land.• VERTICAL LINE: A line that is straight up and down. At a 90 degree angle

from the horizon line.• PARALLEL LINES: Two or more lines that if continued forever, will never

cross.• CENTER OF VISION: Where your eye level is at.• VANISHING POINT(s): The points in linear perspective drawing in which

lines recede into space.• PROPORTION: The size relationships between two or more objects.

1. ALWAYS DRAW LIGHTLY & WITH A

PENCIL!!!

2. ALWAYS USE A RULER OR

STRAIGHT EDGE!3. ALL LINES ARE DRAWN TO THE

VANISHING POINTS!!! (there are no such thing as vertical lines in a 3 point perspective box or form)

• Bird's Eye (View) (n) A view of an object from above the horizon plane. An aerial view of the subject.

• Worm's Eye (View) (n) A view of an object from below the horizon plane. An underground view of the subject.

• Nadir (n) The lowest point below the observer at which receding axes converge.

• Zenith (n) The highest point above the observer at which receding axes converge.

Examples for your Artwork

• Refer to the Standard III Rubric – Artistic Process. – Your artwork should:

• Look finished or unified with color and shading.• Follow one of the themes from the Layered Packet• Reflect your knowledge and understanding of the
