C. EXTENDED ANSWERS Read the following passage to answer Questions 1 - 5. Passage "One-point perspective is a common technique used by artists to create the illusion of depth and/or distance in a drawing or painting. Initially invented in the fifteenth century by renaissance artists, this technique is commonly used today. If you look closely you will notice that objects appear smaller and closer together as they move into the distance. The rules of perspective allow you to develop a structured technique to assist in creating this effect. Although perspective can appear to be very complicated, understanding a few rules allows you to use it in your own artwork. 1. All horizontal lines moving into the distance (for example roads and the tops and bases of buildings) are all drawn to a distant vanishing point. 2. All vertical lines are drawn straight up and down, for example, telegraph poles, the corners of buildings, signposts etc. 3. Objects become smaller, lose detail, become lighter and move closer together as they move towards the vanishing point. 4. In your drawings you need to establish a horizon line (that is, the line where the sky and land meet). 5. You must also be aware of your center of vision (that is, the point on the horizon where your are focused)." S Jane/ M Darby 1998 —Art is.... Making, creating & appreciating
