What is the foreshortened view of a circle called? ellipse
The two axis lines in an ellipse are _____ to each other. perpendicular (90 degrees)
What are the two types of axis lines in an ellipse? major axis and minor axis
Ellipses are _____ shapes. symmetrical
Where do major and minor axes always bisect each at their midpoints
other?
What is determined by the relative lengths of the major proportions of ellipses
and minor axes?
What are the common errors when drawing ellipses? 1. "racetrack" shape
2. flattened diamond with rounded corners
3. "football" shape
(see page 62)
, The proportions of horizontal ellipses are determined eye level (perspective)
by their location relative to the viewer's ________.
What part of the ellipse is visible when positioned at only the edge (it appears as a straight line)
eye level?
What happens as horizontal ellipses move farther their surfaces become more visible (less foreshortened) resulting in
above or below eye level? progressively "thicker" shapes.
(see page 63)
Ellipses that align horizontally across the page are _____ equally
foreshortened.
Horizontal lines appear to _____ around the bend, curved
circumference of the form, becoming more ____ as they
get farther from eye level. (see page 69)
Equally spaced vertical stripes appear to get _______ closer
together as they progress toward the sides of a
cylinder. (see page 69)
What is a matrix? a formative pattern
What is a picture plane? a "window" through which the viewer would experience a convincing illusion of
deep space
What are the 5 spatial conventions? 1. Overlapping
2. Relative Position
3. Diagonals
4. Chiaroscuro
5. Atmospheric Perspective
Overlapping Shapes that partially obscure other shapes are seen as being closer in space
Relative Position Shapes on a ground plane that are positioned lower in the picture are seen as
closer that those higher up
Diagonals Forms positioned diagonally across the picture appear to recede in depth
while vertical or horizontal forms do not
Chiaroscuro The gradual blending of light and shade to create a three-dimensional illusion
