  2. Perspective (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perspective_(geometry)

    Two figures in a plane are perspective from a point O, called the center of perspectivity, if the lines joining corresponding points of the figures all meet at O. Dually , the figures are said to be perspective from a line if the points of intersection of corresponding lines all lie on one line.

    A perspectivity: ′ ′ ′ ′, In projective geometry the points of a line are called a projective range, and the set of lines in a plane on a point is called a pencil.. Given two lines and in a projective plane and a point P of that plane on neither line, the bijective mapping between the points of the range of and the range of determined by the lines of the pencil on P is called a ...

    Artists may choose to "correct" perspective distortions, for example by drawing all spheres as perfect circles, or by drawing figures as if centered on the direction of view. In practice, unless the viewer observes the image from an extreme angle, like standing far to the side of a painting, the perspective normally looks more or less correct.

  5. Geometrical-optical illusions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometrical-optical_illusions

    The widely accepted interpretation of, e.g. the Poggendorff and Hering illusions as manifestation of expansion of acute angles at line intersections, is an example of successful implementation of a "bottom-up," physiological explanation of a geometrical–optical illusion. Ponzo illusion in a purely schematic form and, below, with perspective clues

  6. Axonometric projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axonometric_projection

    Classification of Axonometric projection and some 3D projections "Axonometry" means "to measure along the axes". In German literature, axonometry is based on Pohlke's theorem, such that the scope of axonometric projection could encompass every type of parallel projection, including not only orthographic projection (and multiview projection), but also oblique projection.

    Penrose triangle. The Penrose triangle, also known as the Penrose tribar, the impossible tribar, [1] or the impossible triangle, [2] is a triangular impossible object, an optical illusion consisting of an object which can be depicted in a perspective drawing.

    Colors also have value; for example, yellow has a high value while blue and red have a low value. If you take a black and white picture of a colorful scene, all you are left with are the values. This important element of design, especially in painting and drawing, allows the artist to create the illusion of light through value contrast. [6]
