Reflection (5th)

 In my research, I discovered various types of lines. Using (http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/drawing-geometric-perspective.html), I found the definitions, and learned concepts - horizon line, perspective lines, angular lines, and vanishing point. A horizon line is known as eye level when you are seeing straight ahead. Perspective lines are drawn at an angle from the objects’ edges, straight, and meet at the vanishing point. The vanishing point - a point on the horizon - is where the angular perspective lines continue going beyond this point, visually, eventually converging. The angular lines are the lines not parallel to or perpendicular to the horizon and therefore on angle.

The point on top is the vanishing point. It lies on the horizon and links all the lines going out of the edges of these cubes. The left image would put the viewer’s eyes upward following downward. On the right, the opposite.

Having geometric perspective makes a drawing appear lifelike. The images nearer the vanishing point are smaller; for instance the railing is gradually shrinking. The vanishing point is off of the paper. Paying attention to vanishing points creates a more accurate scene. Researching proved to be a success and with proceeding, I am going to work with the concept in my sketches.
