Perspective

Larger shapes are closer and smaller shapes are farther away

• Diminishing detail
• Diminishing size
• Overlapping

More detail = closer, and less detail = farther away.

• Atmospheric perspective
• Overlapping
• Diminishing detail

An object in front shows all of itself and blocks the view of objects behind it

• Overlapping
• Intensity
• Diminishing Detail

Objects lower on the page seem closer, and objects higher on the page seem farther away.

• Placement on the picture plane

• Diminishing detail

Duller, less intense color on shapes farther away, more intense color on closer shape

• Intensity
• Atmospheric perspective
• Overlapping

 Coloring distant shapes with hues (colors) that appear more blue, suggests the layers of atmosphere (moisture in the air and other air borne particles) between the viewer and those shapes.

• Overlapping
• Diminishing detail
• Atmospheric perspective

The relative size, shape, and position of objects are determined by parallel lines that appear to get closer together as they recede into the distance and meet at a vanishing point on the horizon line.
