Perspective Strategies

1. Linear perspective is the organization of shapes in space using straight lines to create an idea of an object's size and 3D shape.

2. Aerial perspective is the organization of the atmospheric effects on tones and colours and the way colors change depending on their distance from the eye.


3A, Horizon Line: It is a point of reference used to judge the scale and distance of objects in relation to us. In perspective drawing, the horizon happens to be the viewer's eye-level. In art, the term 'eye level', is used rather than 'horizon' because in many pictures, the horizon is hidden by walls, buildings, trees, hills etc.

3B, Vanishing Point: The point at which receding parallel lines viewed in perspective appear to converge.

3C, Orthogonal Lines: Lines pointing to the vanishing point. The lines are parallel to the ground plane and move back from the picture plane and they set the varying heights or widths of a rectangular plane and always appear to meet at a vanishing point on the eye level.

3D, Transversal Lines: Lines that establish a fixed height or width between two orthogonal lines, and lines that form the nearest and furthest edges of a rectangle as it recedes from view.
