    • Objects that are larger appear to be closer, while smaller objects appear to be further away.
    • Light and shadow create the illusion of form and three-dimensionality.
    • Linear perspective is a geometrically constructed illusion of the recession of space.
    • A vanishing point is the spot where all receding lines seem to converge on the horizon line.
    • Atmospheric perspective refers to the use of color to simulate the illusion of space.

    Elements of Art: Shape
