In the past, pictures of people, places and things didn't look like they do in real life. They looked flat and out of proportion, in the 13^th century, artists began to produce life-like images by giving their pictures perspective.

When we look at things around us, they are three dimensional (3D) – they have volume and depth. An artist uses perspective to create a representation on a two dimensional (2D) piece of paper or canvas of how we see things in real life with space, distance and depth between the various objects.

Foreshortening objects gives the impression of perspective. The artist reduces the size of objects in a picture as they follow the viewer's line of sight into the distance. These lines converge in vanishing points on the viewer's horizon and the objects become too small to see. This makes parts of the image appear far away in the background or close to the viewer in the foreground.
