Perspective - Linear, Tonal & Foreshortening

11th Rotation Homework Theme - Perspective

 

​

For this rotation, you must demonstrate that you understand the three types of perspective - linear, tonal and foreshortening. 

​

For photo homework - you must submit 4 different photos of each type, labeled on your contact sheet.  If you take the required number of required shots, you may then take up to 4 forced perspective for bonus. And as always with photo homework, remember no social media 'filters.' No photo-shopping or editing!  Must be captured in camera!

​

Required shots -

• 4 linear

• 4 tonal

• 4 foreshortening

• up to 4 forced BONUS

​

For sketchbook this week, you will pick just ONE type of perspective and use that as your reference. You may NOT do forced perspective.

​

No matter if you are looking for the perfect reference for your sketchbook or for that perfect shot with the camera, keep the following in mind:

• Try a new point of view, get down low or stand above & over your subject

• Think beyond the obvious & and be creative

• Always be thoughtful of your composition - PLAN your space! Remember you MUST utilize MARGINS in your sketchbook
