There are three basic types of perspective in art:
1. One-Point Perspective
- Definition: A single vanishing point on the horizon line, creating a sense of depth and receding lines.
- Example: Buildings viewed from directly in front, roads stretching into the distance.
2. Two-Point Perspective
- Definition: Two vanishing points on the horizon line, creating a more dynamic and realistic view.
- Example: Buildings viewed from an angle, objects with corners receding into space.
3. Three-Point Perspective
- Definition: Three vanishing points, often used for objects viewed from a high or low angle, creating a more complex and dramatic perspective.
- Example: Buildings viewed from above, objects with a strong vertical element.
These three basic types of perspective are foundational for artists and designers to create realistic and convincing representations of three-dimensional objects in two-dimensional spaces.
