Space Surrounds Us Every Day!



Read through pages 118-119 in your text, noting the vocabulary words:
positive and negative spaces
picture plane
overlapping
high and low placement
linear perspective
one-point perspective
vanishing point
two-point perspective
eye level
aerial perspective
framing
How is the space in a classroom different from that of the gym or the auditorium?
Hint: think about sound, lighting, the height of the ceiling... architects must take much into consideration when planning spaces!
How do the above vocabulary words create an illusion of depth on a 2-D picture plane?

*HW due Tuesday: Write a description of the photograph of the interior of the National Gallery using the terms given above.
