(Also called eye level) marks the point where the sky meets the land or water below. Helps to put objects in a painting or drawing in their proper positions, and makes them appear realistic.
Types of Rhythm
-Repetition •Gradation •Radiation
shape
2-Dimensional(2D), have width and length but no depth.
form
3-Dimensional(3D), have width, length and depth.
Linear Perspective
A drawing method that uses lines to create the illusion of space on a flat surface.
One Point Perspective
A form of linear perspective in which one vanishing point is placed on the horizon line.
Eye Level
A horizontally drawn line that is even with the viewer's eye. In landscape scenes it can be the actual horizon line, but it can also be drawn in still life. It is the axis around which a perspective drawing is constructed.
