Linear Perspective

4. Another term for converging lines that angle toward the vanishing point.
8. A drawing system where objects recede toward two vanishing points on the horizon line.
10. A technique of distorting objects to make them appear as though they recede into space.
12. An element of art that is three-dimensional and encloses volume.
13. A drawing system where objects recede toward a single vanishing point.
14. An element of art that is one dimensional, a point moving through space.

1. An element of art that is two dimensional, with a length and a width.
2. The illusion of space in art that makes objects look near or far away, and gives them form.
3. The spot on the horizon line where parallel lines appear to meet.
5. A method of showing depth by placing one object in front of another.
6. The horizontal line in a drawing that represents the viewer’s eye level and separates sky from ground.
7. An element of art that refers to the area around, between, and within objects; can be positive or negative.

11. The relationship of sizes between different parts of a drawing, important for realistic perspective.
