New Perspective Systems

REVIEW:

TCM's Review of Termes' New Perspective Systems:


Artist Dick Termes has created a remarkable book that teaches one-point through six-point perspective. This book takes the artist by the hand and gives practical, yet comprehensive exercises that explain how to achieve extraordinary viewpoints in their work. The back of the book contains sample perspective grids that the artist can place under their sheet of drawing paper. This acts as a guideline or cheat sheet so that the artist can better visualize how the lines of various perspectives work.

What I love about this book is that it is all "hands on". You begin learning techniques immediately, which enables you to create beautiful unique designs. You begin to see the world around you in a very different way. By adding four point, five point, or six point perspective to your designs, you can draw an entire room and see ALL the sides of the room. This includes viewpoints for seeing the ceiling, floor, and what is behind you, in the same drawing! The artistic possibilities for pushing your creativity are endless! This is an excellent gift for any artist, hobbyist, or anyone who dabbles in drawing. This artist's work will inspire you and if you love the work of Escher, this will astound you.

New Perspective Systems

A Book On Perspective

This forty-page book takes you from traditional Renaissance, one and two point perspective, all the way to six point perspective. Six point allows you to draw the total up, down, and all around scene. Grids can be copied to help students move through these different systems very quickly. It gives students and artists a whole new way of thinking.

Hemismirror of Einstein Looking for the Order

Einstein Looking for the Order
An 8" transparent hemisphere with a mirror on the back side. This mirror gives the illusion that you are seeing a total sphere. The Hemismirror can hang on the wall or be placed on a table. Because you are actually viewing a perspective-illusion this piece is very difficult to photograph. Pictured in this photo is only one half of the Hemisphere. When you view it the other half is created in the mirrored base.

The Six Senses

The Six Senses
A transparent, black and white reproduction, 8" diameter sphere. The Six Senses show the six senses of man becoming the six vanishing points that Termes uses in perspective. Plants take on the shapes of faces where the six projecting sets of lines vanish into the ear, eye, nose, tongue, finger tip and a spiral into the forehead of a man for the sixth sense. This piece shows what we sense is not so much outside as within ourselves. When this piece spins you find yourself entering the famous Termes Perspective Flip-you see as if you are inside rather than outside the sphere.

St. Peter's in Rome

St. Peter's in Rome
A transparent, black and white reproduction, 8" diameter sphere that shows the interior space of the incredible St. Peter's Cathedral. A remarkable illusion happens when this transparent sphere spins. You find yourself inside the sphere looking at the back side of the sphere, seeing the total building turn in front of you. It is as if you are actually standing inside St. Peter's turning in a circle-the front side of the sphere totally disappears. This transparent sphere is very difficult to photograph. What you see here is one hemisphere of the sphere. The camera just doesn't work like your eye and mind.
