Juan Martinez-Day 4-PLTW Notebook

Today we are doing perspective sketching from different view points and an amount of view points. The total amount of view points is 3. That is lesson 2.2 perspective sketching. This type of sketching isn't hard nor confusing. Where also learning about multi-view point sketching we're also practicing some more sketching as swell.

1. What is a vanishing point?

It's when the view point's parallel lines converge when showing the view point's in the isometric shape.

2. Aside from the number of vanishing points, what is the difference between a one-point, two-point, and three-point perspective sketch?

The difference between the three is that it shows the different perspectives of how the object is going to be built. They are also all sketched differently. First point is basic. Second point allows some what of a challenge. The Third point is the most confusing because you must show all the different view points.

3. How does a perspective drawing differ from an isometric drawing of the same object? When would you use a perspective view instead of an isometric drawing?

I would use a perspective view when you are constructing maybe a cube using card board, or when you want a perspective view of a room or maybe even a kitchen. I'll use isometric when constructing a building and most construction plans.
