. Perspective for art students . he right we drawa shadow to We find our shadow crosses the bottomline of the wall; we suspect it was intended to do therefore have to run the shadow up the wall fromthe point where it strikes the base of it. Before we attempt to get the shadow on the wall, letus find the of the wall, for the wall is a planereceiving shade, and of shadow on it occurs on We find sufficient is given of the wall to enable usto find its on the left. Through the we draw avertical , which is the of the plane of the we proceed to get the shadow of our cross on thewall, we see that our cross consists of two lines, in twodirections. One is vertical, and so has no ; the other,the arms, is quite level,—it too must be parallel tothe picture, and has no When lines have no , we cannot join their , 212 Perspective to the sun to get their , but we draw from the sunparallel to them. Hence, while the line from the sun parallel to the shaft. of the cross will never meet the of the wall, theline parallel to the arms will at The shadow of the shaft will have to remain parallel to Solving Problems 213 the line wMch cast it, as no can be found; but thearms will vanish to But a further plane confrontsus. Our wall has not received the shadow of the crosswhen an oblique plane interferes. We know this inclinedplane is oblique, because its horizontal trace does not goto , but vanishes to the left. We have to find the of the oblique plane. of intersection will be the of the wall on theleft. We shall have, by means of the eye, to get the right angles to this, on thp right. Through this we raise a vertical, and continue the slanting lineof the oblique plane to it. Obviously this slantingline is in a plane perpendicular to the wall, and wiUthus give us the of inclination. Through of intersection on left, and this of inclinat
