method that shows how things appear to get smaller as they get further away, converging
towards a single 'vanishing point' on the horizon line. It is a way of drawing objects upon a flat
piece of paper (or other drawing surface) so that they look three-dimensional and realistic

perspective. : linear perspective in which parallel lines along the width and depth of an object
are represented as meeting at two separate points on the horizon that are 90 degrees apart as
measured from the common intersection of the lines of projection
scale of a tall building. Note how the vertical transversal lines, which were parallel in one and
two point perspective, now appear to recede. They form a third set of orthogonal lines, which
rise from the ground plane and eventually meet at vanishing point 3, high above the picture
plane.
