Welcome to Putting Things in Perspective!

This is a Visual Art hotlist about linear perspective.  Linear Perspective is a scientific process of creating the illusion of depth on a two dimensional surface.  This is a great place to begin learning about linear perspective.  As you explore the links, you will learn about the development of linear perspective, the first masters of linear perspective, and the various techniques of one, two and three point perspectives. You will find written information, visual aids, videos and interactive websites along the way.   Good luck & have fun!
