1.

Flat Space
A composition that features shapes appearing side by side, appearing
solely on the picture plane itself. Has only two dimensions, height and
width.

2.Shallow Space
Has an illusion of depth, however the back end of the space is fairly close
to the picture plane. Uses only overlapping and stacking order to achieve
sense of depth.


3.Deep Space
Illusion of depth is fairly large, space appears to extend far out to the
horizon. Areas of space can be designed as foreground, middle ground
and background.


4.Interposition
To insert or introduce between parts.

5.Overlapping
When objects appear to be one on top of the other, making one shape
appear closer to the receiver than the other.


6.Relative Size
Shapes of a similar nature will tend to read as moving forward or
backward in space as their size relationship to the other shapes changes.


7.Placement
Shapes placed lower on the picture plane will tend to read as being closer
than identical shapes placed higher on the plane.


8.Shadow
A shape that casts a shadow implies form by blocking light and implying
volume.


9.Aerial (atmospheric) Perspective
Based on the principle of diminishing contrast, objects at a distance will
have less contrast and definition than objects close up.

10.Horizon line
A horizontal line across the
picture that is always at eye level.

11.Vanishing point
the point at which receding parallel lines viewed in perspective appear to
converge.

12.Linear Perspective
Based on the principle of diminishing size, objects will be seen as smaller
as distance increases through the convergence of receding parallel lines.
A combination of mathematics and observation, linear perspective allows
the artist to create the illusion of depth as we see it at a moments glance.

13.One point
It is a perspective in which all parallel lines meet at a single point on the
horizon.

14.Two point
linear perspective in which parallel lines along the width and depth of
an object are represented as meeting at two separate points on the
horizon that are 90 degrees apart as measured from the common
intersection of the lines of projection.

15.Three point
linear perspective in which parallel lines along the width of an object
meet at two separate points on the horizon and vertical lines on the
object meet at a point on the perpendicular bisector of the horizon
line.

16.Transparency
Transparency reveals more detail than translucency, carrying through
much of the detail of the objects it overlaps.

17.Translucency
Translucency can only show the shape, size, color and value of objects it
overlaps

18.Picture plane
the surface of a picture drawn in linear perspective regarded as a
transparent plane perpendicular to the lines of sight on which the points of
objects in the scene may be considered as projected by straight lines drawn
from these points to the eye.
