SJ 18 - 5 perspectives

Taj Mahal

 One perspective view can be easily seen as the view diminishes at one point. A great example of a one perspective view would be in India. The Taj Mahal is a symmetrical building where poeple will normally take a photo of it straight for the symmetrical effect of the building and also the effect of the reflection of the buildig on the pond before the building.

  Not only the exterior have a soothing one perspective view, but the interior have a lot of nice one perspective views also. For instance, the repetition of arches that seem to get smaller and smaller have a nice effect and we can perceive it as a continuous tunnel.

There are objects that stands out in the building itself. The two tombstones looks better from a three point perspective as we can see from a bird eye view of the whole object.

Notre Dame de Paris

  A well known building from the cartoon 'The Hunchback of Notre-Dame', the real building itself is a piece of art. The small details of the building creates a masterpiece where we can see gothic elements from the past that still lives in the present. This one point perspective of the building shows the front facade of the magnificent structure.

The gothic elements can be clearly seen in the interior of the building itself. The distinctive arches of a gothic cathedral inside the Notre Dame de Paris gives a feeling of spaciousness in the tunnel itself.

   We were given the chance to sketch a few pictures shown by our lecturer, to improve on our sketches and she wanted to see our progress on how we can draw compared to the beginning of the semester.
   There are visible improvements in terms of shading and also methods of drawing compared to the previous class when we first learned perspective drawings.
   In this practise, we were given 5 to 10 minutes to draw each picture.
