Class 8 Arts Kriti Chapter 17 NCERT Solutions Overview
People in Places explains how artists show depth and draw human figures inside indoor or outdoor settings. The solved PDF keeps each answer source-based and easy to write in school notebooks.
The chapter first introduces perspective, then connects it with a viewing grid, human anatomy, proportion, posture and final artwork planning. The main revision idea is to observe the scene carefully before drawing.
- Perspective creates an illusion of distance and depth on a flat surface.
- The horizon line matches the viewer's eye level.
- The vanishing point guides receding lines in roads, tracks and buildings.
- Body proportion can be checked by repeating the head unit along the figure.
Perspective, Horizon Line and Vanishing Point
Perspective helps a drawing look deep. The chapter explains that parallel lines on a road or railway track appear to converge in the distance. This meeting point is called the vanishing point.
| Term | Chapter Meaning | Drawing Use |
|---|---|---|
| Horizon line | Viewer's eye level | Sets the height of the view |
| Vanishing point | Point where receding lines seem to meet | Guides depth lines |
| Perspective | Showing 3D space on a 2D surface | Makes roads, rooms and buildings look realistic |
Viewing Grid Activity in People in Places
Activity 17.1 asks students to make a transparent viewing grid from an A4 sheet. Students hold it straight, align the horizon line with eye level and compare angles, shapes and positions through the grid.
The grid breaks a complex scene into smaller squares. This makes it easier to transfer the scene to drawing paper while keeping perspective and proportion under control.
Human Anatomy, Proportion and Final Composition
Human anatomy means the structure of the body. The chapter connects it with proportion by asking students to measure how many times the head repeats along the height of a human figure.
- Activity 17.2 marks body proportion with head units.
- Activity 17.3 asks students to draw friends through repeated measurement.
- Body positions include standing, sitting, bending, lying and squatting.
- Activity 17.4 combines people, place, perspective, colour and title.
