7th Grade Linear Perspective

Our 7th grade Design class learned how Renaissance artists used mathematics and observation to create realistic 3D landscapes on a 2D surface. They learned how to create a horizon line, vanishing point, vertical, horizontal, and orthogonal lines. Using these techniques, our cadets have been creating either rooms or cities using linear perspective.
