Journal 10--Cityscape




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.
