D) horizontal perspective

Answer 1

A

Question 2

List the steps in sketching circles and arcs in perspective.

Answer 2

STEP 2 Draw the center lines.
STEP 3 Draw the diagonals.
STEP 4 Locate the midpoints of the triangles that were formed.
STEP 5 Sketch the circle through the points where the center lines touch the sides of the square and the midpoints.
