Imagine you're looking at a road that goes far away. The road gets smaller as it goes, right? Artists copy this trick on paper or canvas to make things look like they’re going into the distance. This is called one-point perspective. It helps your eyes imagine depth in flat pictures.
Examples
- A drawing of a train track that gets narrower as it goes into the distance
- A picture of a room where the walls seem to meet at a point on the ceiling
- A street with buildings that shrink as they go further away
