Horizon Line: if we look straight ahead we can see an imaginary line. It’s the eye level.
Perspective Lines: they are straight lines, sketched at an angle from the edges of objects. They converge at a point on the horizon line.
Vanishing Point: the point on the horizon at which receeding lines of perspective converge.
1 Point Perspective: one vanishing point only for elements viewed so that the front is directly facing the viewer.
2 Point Perspective: the objects converge towards 2 vanishing points. It’s the corner view. Two point perspective has one set of lines parallel to the picture and two sets oblique to it.
3 Point Perspective: objects seen from above (or below). There are 3 vanishing points.
Atmospheric Perspective: also called aerial perspective, is the effect the earth’s atmosphere has on the appearance of objects in the distance.
