TERM 1
Eye Level
DEFINITION 1
an imaginary horizontal plane exactly at the height of the
observers eyes.may change as the height of the observers
eye changes, but it always remains horizontal.
TERM 2
Line of Vision
DEFINITION 2
a hypothetical line between the eye of the observer and the
general center of the subject.
TERM 3
Picture Plane
DEFINITION 3
a hypothetical transparent plane between the observer and
subject.always perpendicular to the line of vision.
TERM 4
Station Point
DEFINITION 4
a fixed location of the observer which remains constant
throughout the drawing of a subject.
TERM 5
Horizontal
DEFINITION 5
describing a level edge or plane, such as the floor of a
building or the surface of a pool of water, or edges and
planes of objects parallel to those edges or planes.

Station Point

DEFINITION 4 a fixed location of the observer which remains constant throughout the drawing of a subject. TERM 5

Horizontal

DEFINITION 5 describing a level edge or plane, such as the floor of a building or the surface of a pool of water, or edges and planes of objects parallel to those edges or planes.

Vertical

describing an upright edge or plane. is always at a 90 angle to a horizontal. TERM 7

Parallel

DEFINITION 7 lines, edges or planes being of an equal distance apart at all points. TERM 8

Convergence

DEFINITION 8 the appearance of parallel lines or edges coming together toward a common point as they move away from the observer. TERM 9

Vanishing Point

DEFINITION 9 a reference point toward which certain parallel lines or edges of a subject converge. TERM 10

DEFINITION 10 a vanishing point for non-horizontal edges or lines; a vanishing point not at eye level.
