Using Perspective

DP1 Lesson 7: Axonometric Perspective

In this lesson, we explore a perspective technique that was first developed several centuries ago in the East: axonometric perspective. We learn how axonometric perspective differs from linear perspective and use it to create schematic drawings of objects. First, we practice axonometric perspective by drawing an architectural floor plan. Next, we use axonometric perspective to construct a schematic drawing of a video game landscape from top-down view. Last, we explore the meaning, purpose, and effect of axonometric perspective in art by viewing artworks from different art historical periods that employ the technique.
