Perspective in general is a means of constructing a convincing impression of three-dimensional space on a two-dimensional surface. Linear perspective primarily uses line to produce this effect. Aerial [..]

the mathematical theory that the size of an objects visual image (that we perceive through the eye) is simply a function of its actual distance from the eye. This explains why objects appear larger wh [..]

Linear Perspective is an artistic or visual term that refers to the eye's sense of depth and distance perception. This is why two identical items will appear to vary in size with the amount of di [..]

Linear Perspective is a system for creating an illusion of three dimensional space on a flat, two dimensional surface. It involves creating a horizontal line (called the horizon line), and a point on the horizon line (called the vanishing point), and diagonal lines which appear to recede in space (called orthogonals) which all meet at the vanishing [..]

The impression of depth given by converging parallel lines and changes of subject scale between foreground and background elements.

A monocular depth perception technique. Parallel lines seemingly converging at the horizon.

Referring to the dominance of line rather than mass, it is a method of depicting three-dimensional depth on a flat or two-dimensional surface. Linear perspective has two main precepts: 1)Forms that ar [..]

Linear perspective creates the illusion of depth on a two-dimensional surface with parallel lines that appear to merge together in the distance. The point where they merge is called the vanishing point.

is a technique used by artists in painting and drawing to create an illusion of spatial depth on a two dimensional surface. The artist uses consistent geometric rules to make objects appear as they do [..]

A technique whose philosphy states that as objects become more distant, they appear smaller. In linear perspective "parallel" lines appear to converge upon a vanishing point(s).
