|
| Deep space |
Illusion of space created on a 2D surface that seems to span a large area and can appear infinite. |

| Interpenetration |
Planes, objects and shapes seem to slice through each other, defining their location in space. |

|
| Transparency |
Object or distant view is seen more clearly through an object. Both objects overlap, but both can be seen in their entirety. |

|
| Overlapping |
Some shapes are in front and partially block others. Also gives illusion of depth. |

|
| Vertical location |
The higher an object is on the picture plane, the further back we presume it is. Gives illusion of depth. |

| Foreground |
Space that the subject of the artwork is in, or the space before it in which they inhabit. |

| Mid-ground |
Space between the foreground and background. |

|
| Fractional representation |
Several spatial aspects of the same subject are placed in the same area (ex. Egyptian art where the eye is on the side of the head). |

|
| Forced perspective |
Illusion of distance by creating objects that are smaller than their real equivalents, thus making something look further away than it actually is. |
0 |
CFraissi Wed, 02 Dec 2009 00:13:06 GMT |
|
| Orthogonals |
Imaginary receding parallel lines at right angles to the field of vision which join horizontal lines to the vanishing point; sight or guide lines. |

|
| Foreshortening |
Something seen lying far away appears to be shorter than if the object was seen full-on. |

|
| Vanishing point |
The point at which converging parallel lines appear to meet on the horizon line. Can be more than one. |

| Viewer's location point/station point |
In 1-point perspective, the vertical axis through the vanishing point. |

Prominent dark or contrasting form in the foreground in an aerial perspective piece. |

| Aerial perspective |
Illusion of deep space. Distant objects are less detailed and contrasting than nearer objects. |

| Multiple perspective |
A perspective that cannot be experienced in any other way than through the artistic piece. |
0 |
CFraissi Wed, 02 Dec 2009 00:13:06 GMT |
|
| 3-point perspective |
Linear perspective in which all lines converge toward a third vanishing point directly above the object. There are no parallel lines. |
0 |
CFraissi Wed, 02 Dec 2009 00:13:06 GMT |
|
| 2-point perspective |
Linear perspective with two vanishing points, on the left and right sides of the object on the horizon line. Vertical lines are still parallel. |
0 |
CFraissi Wed, 02 Dec 2009 00:13:06 GMT |

| 1-point perspective |
