PERSPECTIVE.........

Aerial or diverging perspective

On the first day of our blog lets talk about “PERSPECTIVE”

In art showing the relation between any object be it close or far, with the surface around it, in one frame is known as perspective. In some  cases,  presenting the value of the art with respect to the place where artist is present to the place where the object is being placed is also known as perspective.

According to characteristics there are two types of perspective :

·         Aerial or diverging perspective

·         Converging perspective

Aerial or diverging perspective :  In this type of perspective the drawing seems to be like the artist is at a higher position and the object is at lower position with reference to height.  People get confused aerial perspective with birds eye view as these both are quite similar but actually aerial perspective has a vanishing point. In Indian painting and European painting the implementation of aerial or diverging perspective is different. This difference can be known only by analyzing the drawing very carefully.
