Perspective - Creating the illusion of depth on a flat surface. (https://www.qacps.org/cms/lib02/MD01001006/Centricity/Domain/1467/7th%20Grade%20Perspective%20Drawing%20Unit.pdf)
Linear Perspective. A system for drawing 3-D space on a 2-D surface by following the guidelines that all parallel and receding lines converge to vanishing points, and that objects appear smaller as they recede in space (http://www.studiolaforte.com/laforteclasses/perspective-terms-and-definitions.html)
Vanishing Point: The place where something moves so far away from your view that it just vanishes. If it is a road, with parallel lines, it is finally where they vanish creating the illusion of them intersecting.(https://educationcloset.com/2018/04/01/3-ways-to-teach-1-point-perspective/)
Horizon Line: Represents the viewer’s eye level or where the sky meets the water or land. When inside, it could be where the wall meets the floor. (https://educationcloset.com/2018/04/01/3-ways-to-teach-1-point-perspective/)
Perspective lines (Orthogonal Lines): These are lines that can be drawn from the outside of a picture to the vanishing point. All lines should converge at the vanishing point and are used to help create guidelines for drawing in other details of the picture (https://www.thecuriouslycreative.com/topics/beginners-guide-drawing/perspective-drawing/)
Eye Level Line. The vantage point of the spectator, also referred to as the horizon line. (http://www.studiolaforte.com/laforteclasses/perspective-terms-and-definitions.html)
1 Point Perspective - All lines that move back into the picture plane coverage at one point on the horizon line with the fronts of objects parallel to the viewers face.
2 Point Perspective - All lines that move back into the picture plane coverage at two points on the horizon line with a corner of the object(s) parallel to the viewers face.
3 Point Perspective - This form of perspective has 3 vanishing points (2 on the horizon and 1 above or below the object) and is used for extreme viewpoints from above (Bird's Eye View) or below (Worm's Eye View) the object being drawn.
Atmospheric Perspective (Ariel Perspective) - As things move into the distance, values become lighter with fewer details and less contrast.
Bird’s Eye View. A 3-point perspective in which the viewer is high above
the object looking downward and the form appears smaller at it’s base than it’s top.(http://www.studiolaforte.com/laforteclasses/perspective-terms-and-definitions.html)
Worm’s Eye View. 3-point perspective in which the viewer is at a very low angle creating an upward drama, like that of a small child looking up at an adult, or standing beneath a very tall building (http://www.studiolaforte.com/laforteclasses/perspective-terms-and-definitions.html)
