HORIZON LINE: A horizontal line that separates the ground from the sky also treated as the viewer/artists eye level.

VANISHING POINT: A theoretical point in the distance towards which receding parallel lines diminish.

ORTHOGONAL LINES: Straight diagonal lines drawn to connect points around the edges of a picture to the vanishing point. They represent parallel lines receding into the distance to help draw the viewer’s eye into the depth of the picture.

Work in progress.
