The Art of Perspective

The Art of Perspective is a technique artists use to create the illusion of depth and three-dimensionality on a flat surface. It involves understanding how objects appear smaller as they recede into the distance and how lines, light, and shadows can guide the viewer’s eye. By applying principles like single, two-point, or three-point perspective, artists can accurately depict space and spatial relationships, making scenes look realistic and convincing. Perspective helps viewers feel immersed in the artwork, as it mirrors how we perceive the world around us through visual cues related to distance and scale.
