Perspective Handout

Overview and Objectives

Using the Symbols created in Illustrator in the prior project create a multi- figural composition in
1pt Perspective using the Perspective Grid Tool.

Activities

1. Create a Tiled Ground Plane (Use the Perspective Tool) on an Art Board of 8” x 16”.
With the line tool Create a “Corridor of Convergence”. Also Make a Horizon Line with the line tool

2. Find and use the symbol(s) created last week.
Place one figure in the foreground in the “Corridor of Convergence” .

2. Scale the figure multiple times, each one getting smaller as it converges back in space towards the Vanishing Point.

 

SAVE, THEN CREATE A NEW PLATE TO WORK WITH.
Recreate ground plane with perspective tool.

 

3. On a new Art Board, change the placement of
figures with the goal of creating a balanced composition.

 

4. Add, subtract and replicate figures however need be.
Break symbol links and alter adding values.

 

5. Change value of ground plane and or background.

 

6. Make reference to atmospheric perspective by allowing the
darker figures to come forward and the lighter smaller figures to recede.

 

7. Save as PDF then Print and present Two Versions.

 

Embellish one with added materials. Introduce materials and elements of
TEXTURE, through repeated hatching of line repeating dots and collaged papers.

Further explore VALUE through pencil, charcoal and or ink.

 

The original one created in Illustrator will be shown next to the embellished version.
