The Art of Perspective

This clear and richly illustrated book with more than 400 diagrams introduces artists, graphic designers and architects to the principles of perspective so that they can create their own illusion of reality. Here is everything the developing artist needs to know. Chapters include: *The parameters of perspective *Frontal perspective *The "45" points *Horizontal perspective *Three-dimensional perspective *Choices of perspective *Ellipses, shadows, and reflections *And more! Perspective is the art of understanding and reproducing the space surrounding us, an attempt to "flatten" what is seen on a sheet of paper. It links graphic combinations to explain space just as language links words to explain thought. Perspective passes through an awareness of the space surrounding us. It puts at stake the artist's deductive ability to capture a place, a direction, or the way a surface behaves. It's about establishing the interplay between spatial reasoning and visual disorder, sorting out information and providing a viewing point; conveying a 'graphic' space and 'spatial' graphics.
