Types of perspectives - JSS2 Cultural and creative art Lesson Note

Angular perspective: Also known as one-point perspective, angular perspective uses a single vanishing point on the horizon line to create the illusion of depth.

Linear perspective: Linear perspective utilizes multiple vanishing points and orthogonal lines to create the illusion of depth and distance in a more complex scene.

Parallel perspective: Parallel perspective, also called two-point perspective, uses two vanishing points on the horizon line to create the illusion of depth, typically for scenes with strong vertical elements.

Aerial perspective: Aerial perspective, also known as atmospheric perspective, involves using color and value to create the illusion of depth and distance by mimicking the effects of atmosphere on distant objects, such as making them appear lighter, less detailed, and bluer in hue.

These concepts are fundamental in creating realistic and visually engaging paintings, whether depicting landscapes, seascapes, or any other scene.
