When you are done please raise your hand so that the teacher can come and check your work.

Here is an example:

The term to be defined:Perspective sketch

Web definition: “The perspective sketch adds realism to the three-dimensional pictorial representation, since it represents the way the human eye inputs visual data. The key element in the perspective sketch is that parallel edge lines converge to a single point (called the vanishing point) along the horizon. If there is just one vanishing point, then it is called a 1-Pt. Perspective. If two sets of parallel edge lines converge to their respective vanishing points, then it is called a 2-Pt. Perspective. There is also the case of a 3-Pt. Perspective in which all vertical lines also converge to a point”

Web Address: http://www.me.utexas.edu/~rbarr/sketching/perspective.html.

What this term means to me: When I look down the hallway of the school, the hall seems to get smaller and smaller the further down the hall I look. If I take a ruler and line it up visually with the edge of the floor and the wall, I can almost see where the vanishing point is and where all the edges of the floor and ceiling will meet

GOOD LUCK!!
