Chapter 4 | PERSPECTIVE POINTS OF VIEW
The height of the horizon in a drawing determines from which perspective point of view or angle we look at a scene in a drawing or film.
A low point of view/angle: it now seems as if we are swimming behind a boat with two people. Maybe we are a dolphin, a shark, a snorkeler or the periscope of a submarine. The boat with the two people protrudes well above our horizon, above our eye level.
A high point of view/angle: in the second drawing we fly like a bird, a drone or like Superman high above the two boats. Only the high rocks in the distance are just a little higher than our horizon.
If we wanted to draw our environment from a very low point of view, we then we would have to lie on our stomachs or we might have to put ourselves in the shoes of a mole, a worm or a hedgehog.
Extra: make a drawing about the following topic:
“After digging tunnels all night, what does this mole see when it sticks its head above the ground in the early morning?”
A mole has already been drawn. If you draw the horizon line very lightly, you can erase it later.
