15. 15 Perspective A visual system that creates the illusion of depth. Raphael, School of Athens, 1511

16. 16 Perspective Techniques Overlapping Placing one object in front of another. The fullest shape appears to be closest to the viewer.

17. 17 Size Making some objects larger than others. The largest objects appear closest to the viewer. Perspective Techniques

18. 18 Perspective Techniques Placement Putting some objects lower in the picture than others. The lowest objects appear closest to the viewer.

19. 19 Perspective Techniques Detail Rendering objects with intricate contours and decorations. Objects with the most details appear closest.

20. 20 Perspective Techniques Atmospheric Perspective The affects of light and moisture in the atmosphere. Faded objects appear farther away than intensely colored objects.

21. 21 Perspective Techniques Lines that appear to get closer the farther away they are. Converging Lines
