Section 2 Summary

 

 

This photograph shows a bleak winter landscape and captures an image of a long, cold walk across the bridge. The sense of distance is created though one-point perspective. The bridge narrows as it approaches the far shore, just as elements farther away appear smaller.

 

In Lesson 1 you explored the elements of one-point perspective in photography and drawing. In Lessons 2 and 4, you examined the concept of scale. Using proportional reasoning, you solved a variety of problems involving scale in maps, diagrams, art, and three-dimensional models. In Lesson 3 you created three-dimensional scale models. The creation of a three-dimensional scale model was the central theme for the Module 5 Project: Produce a Set of Drawings and a Scale Model.
