shape

2-Dimensional(2D), have width and length but no depth.

form

3-Dimensional(3D), have width, length and depth.

Linear Perspective

A drawing method that uses lines to create the illusion of space on a flat surface.

One Point Perspective

A form of linear perspective in which one vanishing point is placed on the horizon line.
