Obj. 3.02 Interior
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Horizon line | The line in a perspective drawing where the sky meets the ground. It also represents the viewer’s eye level. That is, the placement of the line on the picture plane depends on the vantage point of the artist. |
| One-point perspective drawing | One point perspective is a drawing method that shows how things appear to get smaller as they get further away, converging towards a single ‘vanishing point’ on the horizon line. |
| Orthographic drawings | A drawing that shows the height, width, and depth of a three-dimensional space on a two-dimensional drawing; includes floor plans, elevations, and sections. |
| Orthogonal line | Literally, a line which is at right angles to another. In linear perspective drawings, it is the line you draw from the corner of an object to the vanishing point. Orthogonal lines should always be drawn lightly at first. |
| Scale-drawing | drawing with dimensions at a specific ratio relative to the actual size of the object being drawn. |
| Serif | a slight projection finishing off a stroke of a letter in certain typefaces. |
| Two-point perspective drawing | Two-point perspective occurs when you can see two vanishing points from your point of view. Two-point perspective drawings are often used in architectural drawings and interior designs; they can be used for drawings of both interiors and exteriors. |
| Vanishing point | The point on the horizon line at which lines or edges that are parallel appear to converge. |
