    To create depth on a flat surface, make a horizon line and a vanishing point on your paper. Next, draw any figure of your choosing (shape, number, letter, etc.), and draw lines starting at the points of the figure facing the vanishing point to the vanishing point. Then if you want, you can cut your figure. But that's a whole other lesson. --{sorry if this is too long}

    To create depth on a flat surface first you need to draw you horizon line straight across your paper. Then you pick anywhere on your horizon line to put a vanishing point where all of your lines will connect to. Then you draw your shape and connect almost all of the points to your vanishing point. Then you cut your shape to create the illusion of depth.

    to create depth on a flat surface, you have to figure out where on your paper you are going to put a 'vanishing point'. next you draw whatever you want to put in perspective, such as a square. then you connect the lines to the vanishing point. you can overlap the figure too, which further creates the illusion of depth.

  4. To create depth on a flat surface, you have to draw a horizon line and a vanishing point on a piece of paper. Then anywhere on your horizon line you put your vanishing point to interface your lines. You then make a letter, number, etc, to have depth and connect most lines to your vanishing point. You "cut" the figure to show depth, by doing this you are really just making to figure look 3D and if you make the figure behind it looks even more interesting.

    To create depth on a flat surface at first you need a horizon line, and a vanishing point to where all of your lines meet. Then you need to connect lines from your shapes points that face the vanishing point to that location. After that erase the unnecessary extending lines from your shape to cut it. Make sure to leave part of the line to create perspective, and then you will have depth

    To create depth on a flat surface u first got to draw a horizon line.Next you put a vanishing point in the middle of your horizon line. Then you draw a shape; such as squares, triangles,circles etc. After you connect the lines from your shape to your vanishing point. After that you cut your shape and erase the unnecessary lines. Now look at your paper. You have just created depth. Congratulations!

    You can create depth on a flat surface by first drawing a box. Then you draw another box over-lapping it. Place a vanishing point anywhere the connect the sides of the square to it but making sure not to go inside of the shape. You can then cut your shape, making it as thick or thin as you would like it to be. If you keep repeating the steps you make it seem as if the boxes are in front, behind, ontop, or next to each other. It makes it seem as if the boxes are going deeper and deeper or closer up on the page. And with that you have created depth

  9. In order to create the illusion of depth on a flat surface you need to first make a horizon line. Next you need to place a vanishing point anywhere on the horizon line. Then you create a shape anywhere on the paper. Lets say you make a square on the top-left coner of the page and 3 corners are facing the vanishing point. You then connect the 3 corners to the vanishing point by making coneccting lines. After that you "cut" the shape. Take your ruler and put it against the vertical line and drag it as much as you want and make it as "deep" as you want. Then erase the excess lines and there you go. You have your shape! After a while you will feel comfortable not using the horizon line. This is a sign that you are doing great and moving foward.

    First, you have to create a horizen line. Then you have to create a little dot on the horizon line called the vanishing point. After that draw a shape for example a box. Connect the box to the vanishing point using conversing lines which are the lines connecting from the three points on the square. So after all this work you still have more to do =]. Now you have to "cut" the shape. Use your ruler and againts the vertical and horizantal lines and make it as deep or far back as you want it to be. Then erase the left over lines and wala!!! You just made your persective box!!!!!! Mr. Amico Rox!!!!!

    to create depth on a flat surface you make a vanishing point and make a shape or letter then you connect all the points on your shape that face the vanishing points. Next you can cut the object and start to overlap a lot of shapes to make a lot of depth. To cut you copy the line on your shape with a ruler and make it as thick as you want and you do that with every side that is visible. Then you erase the lines connecting the shape to the vanishing point so you have a floating shape.

    In order for you to create depth on a flat surface, you would have to draw a vanishing point so that your shape can connect to something. You connect the lines from your vanishing point to your shape. After your done, you can cut the shape so that it creates more depth. To cut a shape, you use your ruler to help copy the line that you are cutting. You can make the cut deep so that it looks like the shape is popping out of the paper. After you are finished cutting, you have to erase the lines from your vanishing point to your shape so now you have a shape that is popping out at you. Yaaaay all donne! Love you Amicccccs. Peaace.

    When creating depth on a flat surface, you need to create a vanishing point and then create a letter, symbol or shape that has all its points facing the vanishing point. Then, in order to give your shape more depth, you cut it using a ruler. You can make your shape as deep and thick as you want it. Then, erase the lines that in the beginning, you connected to the vanishing point. And now you have yourself a perspective shape.

    I chose to create depth because it was more of a challenge for me than doing a word. Depth can be interpreted in many ways while a word can only be interpreted in a few. When I started draqing my boxes I realized it would take a long time and a lot of patience to complete. I would get suggestions from my classmates that I would incorprate in my peice to make the depth look more realistic. Once I started drawing depth I knew that I was going to love creating this project no matter how long it took. Knowing that there was certain limitations on such as time that I had to keep pacing myself every day. Creating depth is important to me because when I look back at the piece I'll be able to see something different in it every time, and it will be different for other people also. Once my piece was created I knew that I would be able to keep this piece for a long time.

  15. I felt, by making my Op Art piece, that I now truly understand what it means to create the illusion of depth and 3-D on a flat surface. This expirence has helped me because when I was brainstorming my thumbnail skecthes I had the oppritunity to explore different ideas and concepts of illusions. We had to make 10 thumbnail sketches to map out our oppritunities and widen our varieties. I chose to create an illusion using flat lines and curved lines. I could have made my project a variation of what the thumbnail sketch laid out for me but I chose the easy way out. I had a limited amount of time to complete the project, including extra time in extra help.
