Discuss the purpose of this assignment, what techniques
(illusion of space) did you use to accomplish those objectives? Discuss where
and how you used those techniques...be thorough.
This assignment’s purpose was to create a cityscape view
using various techniques, namely, the two-point and one-point perspective. For
the two-point perspective, I must admit I was not able to completely get the
hang of it, and sort of “hid” them at the sides of my city where the roads sort
of diverge. From there, I started putting in buildings in the background while
I thought of where to put my pyramid, before I figured I could put it in the
center and set up my major-one point perspective. So, I started by putting in
an arch in the front to show that one is entering the city limits, and the
pyramid (or convention center) is put into the middle-front of the city—the first
thing you see as you enter. The center has two fountains on both sides of its
front. Buildings were overlapped to show overall density of the city, and
buildings of various height are put in a “helter-skelter” formation, to show
that not just the tallest buildings are hiding in the back, there are smaller
buildings there as well.
