26. Linear Perspective happens automatically when you take a photograph. As in Aerial perspective, objects seem to get smaller as they move back in space.

27. One Point Linear Perspective

28. There are 3 types of linear perspective: 1)One-Point perspective 2)Two-point perspective 3)Three-point perspective 2-point perspective 1-point perspective
