	Perspective (graphical) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Perspective (French: perspective from Latin perspicere, to see clearly) in the graphic arts, such as drawing, is an approximate representation on a flat surface (such as paper) of an image as it is perceived by the eye.
		A two-point (ie, two vanishing points) perspective is derived from one-point perspective by yawing (typically) the line of vision so that the line of vision will be at an angle away from the focus (the view may be pitched as well to create a two-point perspective along the vertical axis).
		Three-point perspective exists when the perspective is a view of a rectilinear (Cartesian) scene (a scene composed entirely of linear elements intersecting at right angles) where the painting plate is not parallel to any of the scene's three axes.

		In perspective the horizon line refers to the line where the sky and earth seem to meet; it is on this line that the vanishing point is located.
		The scientific principles of perspective were first laid down, using mathematics and close observation, during the Renaissance period.
		The rules of perspective were first applied to art by the 15th-century Italian painter Masaccio, who used slanted lines to make objects appear to extend back into space in his paintings;; the technique was initially discovered by a contemporary, the architect Filippo Brunelleschi.

	Mathematics and Art
		Leonardo distinguished two different types of perspective: artificial perspective which was the way that the painter projects onto a plane which itself may be seen foreshortened by an observer viewing at an angle; and natural perspective which reproduces faithfully the relative size of objects depending on their distance.
		Another contribution to perspective made by Dürer in his 1525 treatise was the description of a variety of mechanical aids which could be used to draw images in correct perspective.
		The phrase "linear perspective" was invented by Taylor in this work and he defined the vanishing point of a line, not parallel to the plane of the picture, as the point where a line through the eye parallel to the given line intersects the plane of the picture.

		Sociological perspective is the most general paradigm (a point of view, a distinct way of thinking) specific to the field of sociology.
		Sociological perspective focuses not on individuals but their group, or society, and attempts to explain human social structures, including cultural and governmental institutions and forms of activity and interpersonal relations using social facts or social forces.
		Sociological perspective means that the sociologists are not limited to common sense knowledge, they try to investigate what lies beyond the commonly accepted reality and understand some of the rules that govern human behaviour in the society.

	handprint : elements of perspective
		By the 18th century perspective was ensconced as a core study in art academies, which turned perspective techniques into a tedious orthodoxy that drove the methods to extinction.
		Perspective originates in the common appearance of the real world, where texture is as important as perspective in our experience of distance.
		Complex objects in perspective, starting with the circle and extending to chalices, spiral staircases, geometric solids and the human figure can be projected into perspective space by point to point mapping of the surface landmarks into a rectangular or grid framework.

		The earliest surviving use of linear perspective in art is attributed to Donato di Niccolò di Betto Bardi (1386-1466), called Donatello, who is considered by many to be the greatest sculptor of the early Renaissance in Italy, and perhaps one of the greatest sculptors of all time.
		Perspective is the method of sketching a front with the sides withdrawing into the background, the lines all meeting in the center of a circle.
		Perspective is an example of the geometric operation of projection and section where projection lines from the outline of an object to the eye are sectioned or cut by a picture plane.

		A perspective drawing is a representation of a three-dimensional object on a two-dimensional surface.
		In one point perspective, remember that the horizon line exists where the viewer's line of sight is. Also, in one point perspective, all parallel lines which are perpendicular to the horizon line will converge at a point on the horizon line called the vanishing point.
		Perspective drawings possess four major characteristics, which are utilized to portray a sense of space, depth and the third dimension within the limits of a two-dimensional drawing:

		Because this would cause the perspective to change, lenses with different focal lengths are said to "have" a different perspective.

		As mentioned earlier, this change in perspective is a direct consequence of the change in subject distance and thus only an indirect consequence of the change in focal length.
