Linear Perspective
(relies on line) The most realistic method of portrying in two dimensions the visual depth of the natural world. it is based on two simple phenomena: first, that forms far away from us appear smaller than those close up; and ssecond, that parallel lines receding into the distance seem to converge, until they meet at a point on the horizion line where they disappear. This point is known as the Vanishing Point.
