Frontal perspective

Frontal perspective is a perspective in which the picture is parallel to one of the object's planes.

When building architectural perspectives, the frontal perspective is used to depict courtyards, interiors and structures of circular shapes.

Depending on the position of the point of view, frontal perspectives are divided into:

a) a central frontal perspective (the viewer stands exactly along the axis of the object; the main point divides the horizon line in half)

b) a lateral frontal perspective (the viewer has deviated from the axis of the structure; the main point is to the left or to the right of the axis)

Central frontal perspectives are calm. Lateral are more diverse, especially when the elements are repeated left and right. The magnitude of the distance, which determines the magnitude of the angle of view, greatly affects the frontal perspective. Given the plan and the facade of the cylindrical arch. The vertical projection of the arch lies in the plane of the picture, and therefore coincides with its perspective.

The magnitude of the angles of view can be immediately determined in perspective. The angle of view should always be determined before building the perspective of the details, since distortion is most noticeable on their images. Therefore, if the angle of view approaches 60 °, the distance should be increased.

The closer to the object point of view,

the deeper the interior looks like,

the farther point of view from the object

the less deeply perceived room

For frontal perspectives, angles of 60 ° are quite acceptable and give good expressive perspectives.
