Linear PerspectiveIntroductionLinear perspective, aerial perspective, and shading are the prime methods forconveying a sense of natural space and three-dimensional form. In linearperspective, converging lines express the recession of parallel forms intospace away from the observer. Linear perspective produces images that areaccurate representations of real objects recognized and identified by artistsand laymen alike.LinearperspectiveLinear perspective is a geometric system for depicting objects, planes, andvolumes in space on a two-dimensional field. This precise mathematicalinterpretation is based on the location of the observer in reference to theobjects drawn. This system uses size, position, and converging parallels tocreate a unified spatial order. Certain characteristics common to imagesdrawn in linear perspective are vanishing points, horizon lines, ground lines,and picture planes. Linear perspective is the type of perspective mostcommonly used by draftsmen and artists.Figure is an example of linear perspective.Figure 5-9.—Linear perspective.5-10
