In this grid, the receding floor lines and the edges of the box meet at one spot. What is that spot called?

The diagram includes a horizontal line at the viewer's eye level. What is the name of that line?

What are the diagonal guide lines called when they run from the front edges of a box toward the distant point?

A street corner is constructed so that its left and right sides recede toward separate distant dots. What do those dots represent?

In a perspective drawing, what is the flat surface that receives the pictured scene?

The line marked A at the bottom of this constructed scene shows where the depicted ground meets the picture plane. What is it called?

A box on a floor grid is drawn so that its receding edges and the grid lines all meet at one spot on the horizon. Which construction is shown?

A box is turned so that a vertical corner faces the viewer, while each side recedes in a different direction. Which construction best fits it?

A railroad track runs directly away from the viewer and appears to narrow toward one central spot. What system organizes this view?

A building corner faces the viewer, with one set of roof edges going left and another going right toward distant points. Which construction is being used?

Which construction would best show the inside of a room viewed squarely toward its back wall?

In a landscape with no converging edges, a near rock hides part of a rock behind it. Which depth cue is at work?

Three same-size trees are painted progressively smaller as they recede. Which cue makes the far trees seem distant?

On a flat field, a row of identical flowers is placed higher and higher in the frame to suggest recession. Which cue is doing the work?

Near cobblestones show large, distinct textures, while distant cobblestones look finer and more densely packed. Which depth cue is most important?

A painted sphere shifts gradually from bright light to deep shadow, making it look round rather than flat. Which technique creates that sense of volume?

A drawing keeps colors unchanged, but edges and small details become less distinct as forms recede. Which cue helps establish depth?

Far hills are pale blue-gray, low in contrast, and soft-edged, while near trees are dark and crisp. What creates the sense of distance?

Why do distant mountains look bluer and less saturated than nearby objects, both in real life and in landscape paintings?

A painter wants a foreground tree to stand out against hazy distant hills. Which treatment of the hills best supports atmospheric depth?

Which Renaissance artist wrote that distant forms should look bluer and less distinct, and used that haze in the landscape behind the Mona Lisa?

Around 1413, a Florentine architect used a painted panel, peephole, and mirror to demonstrate constructed pictorial depth. Who was he?

Which 1435 treatise by Leon Battista Alberti set out principles for constructing pictorial space?

Masaccio's Holy Trinity in Santa Maria Novella uses which device to make its painted architecture seem to extend inward?

The early Renaissance development of systematic linear perspective is especially associated with which city?

What term names the illusion of measured depth produced when receding parallel edges are constructed to meet?

A road shifts upward in the picture and is partly hidden by nearer objects, but no parallel edges meet. Why is it inaccurate to call this linear perspective?

A box points toward the viewer, so its depth appears compressed while its front face looks broad. What has the artist emphasized?

A figure's outstretched arm reaches toward the viewer and appears much shorter than its actual length. Which technique explains the effect?

Why might an artist make the soles of a reclining figure appear large while the legs seem shortened?
