Perspective Drawings

I was at Orchard Road, waiting to collect mooncakes from Mandarin Hotel some time in August or September, and I chanced upon some UK artist doing perspective drawings.

Apparently, it was an awareness exercise about UK. Anybody could take a picture on the perspective drawing and download their pictures from a webpage.

The first drawing is an aerial view of some architecture, with the subject on a pair of stilts.

It didn't make much sense when you looked at it as it was. You needed to look through the camera that was already positioned on a tripod right in front of the picture. The subject would look like he or she is standing on stilts, towering over the surrounding buildings in a city.



The next picture was not completed yet. The artist was still cutting it out when a crowd started to gather around him. But being the genial person that he was, or he had to be, he encouraged interested viewers to have a go at the mailbox picture - the subject had to do a half-squat beside the mailbox and stretch out his or her hand to hold the letter to look like he or she was putting the letter into the mailbox.

Interesting!
