Vanishing Point
A vanishing point is a point in a perspective drawing to which parallel lines appear to converge.
Vanishing Point - is the point to which all lines which are parallel to the viewer recede. You may want to think of the last time you were looking down a long stretch of straight highway.
Vanishing point: in perspective, the point on the horizon in the distance where two lines seem to converge and visibility ends.
vanishing point. In perspective drawing, a point at which receding lines seem to converge.
variety. A principle of art concerned with combining one or more elements of art in different ways to create interest.
Vanishing Point - In linear perspective, the point on the horizon line where parallel lines appear to converge.
Vehicle - The entire liquid contents of a paint.
VANISHING POINT term used in perspective; all lines lead to this point which may be on or off the canvas.
VERTICAL up and down.
vanishing point: in perspective drawing, a point or points on the horizon where receding parallel lines seem to meet.
Vanishing Point: In perspective, the vanishing point is the point in which a set of lines converge.

VANISHING POINT:
The fixed point on the horizon where the perspective lines meet.

An explanation of what is meant by the term "vanishing point", one of the fundamental concepts of perspective in paintings.
diagonal recession - in perspective, orthogonal lines receding to an off-center vanishing point * ...
Lines or edges parallel to the ground plane and moving away from the viewer appear to converge at vanishing points on the horizon line.
Vanishing point
point at which the receding parallel lines in a painting appear to meet; see Linear perspective.

The lower area, where the artist has placed the sleeping guards, has a very low vanishing point. Alberti, in his theoretical writings, suggests that the vanishing point should be at the same level as the figures' eyes.
In this painting, the vanishing point resides below the feet of Jesus. The illusion of the architecture is so real that one feels as if the wall has been opened up to reveal the scene.
That is why he uses a hesitant and oblique form of perspective, creating multiple horizons and vanishing points, just like his Italian contemporaries. The Dijon altarpiece even has a gold background.
Such regressions are a form of imprisonment (as well as a form of vanishing point), but what is imprisoned, among other things, is a terror of change. This is produced by, and produces, a wish to control it.
Vanishing points are usually located on this line. The image behind this text features a horizon line separating sky from sea — which, as you look lower, morphs into sky again, etc.
As with Leonardo's Last Supper, all of the architectural lines lead back to a vanishing point right behind the main center of interest, and the arch doorway serves to emphasize their importance.
linear perspective: converging real or imagined lines draw the eye to a vanishing point (horizon). Objects located on these lines diminish proportionately as they near the vanishing point.
Horizon line: in a painting, a level line where land or water ends and the sky begins. Vanishing points, where two parallel lines appear to converge, are typically located on this line. A horizon line is used to attain the perspective of depth.
Any picture in which the horizon line, and consequently the vanishing point (-s), have been placed near or above the top of the work, this applies to renderings of any subject, but most often to landscapes, cityscapes, etc.
Relative to the observer, all the converging lines lead toward a single vanishing point at the centre of the composition.
A type of perspective in which the lines of projection converge not on a vanishing point, but on a vertical axis at the center of the picture, as in Roman painting.

In perspective, when the lines recede to a vanishing point to the right or left of the vantage point.
Perspective - technique for indicating depth; it involves a system of lines that converge at vanishing points, those places in the distance at which objects seem to disappear.
Principles of design ...
In linear perspective the line where sky and earth seem to meet. The vanishing point is located on this imaginary line.

HERRINGBONE PERSPECTIVE - is where lines of projection converge not on a vanishing point but on a vertical axis at the centre of the painting or drawing.
In this case, the construction of the perspective is known technically as "accidental", with the two vanishing points situated outside the picture on the horizon line, ...
In the two dimensional plane, the creation of space is limited and defined. Space on a two dimensional surface can be created by overlapping shapes and vanishing points.
Light
The gradation of values to create the illusion of light.
Linear perspective foreshortens objects as they recede into the distance with lines converging to a vanishing point. Aerial perspective is based on contrasts of colour and shade, which are stronger in the foreground and fainter in the distance.
In one-point linear perspective, developed during the fifteenth century, all parallel lines in a given visual field converge at a single vanishing point on the horizon.
one-point linear perspective - Developed in 15th century Italy, a mathematical system for indicating spatial distance in two-dimensional images, where lines converge in a single vanishing point located on the horizon line, ...
A system used to develop three-dimensional images on a two-dimensional surface; it develops the optical phenomenon of diminishing size by treating edges as converging parallel lines. They extend to a vanishing point or points on the horizon ...
By making all of the lines in the painting converge on a single, invisible point on the horizon, a flat painting can appear to have depth. In creating the vanishing point, ...
Atmospheric perspective involves the gradual decrease in colour intensity to imitate distance. One-point linear perspective, developed in Italy in the fifteenth century, is a mathematical system that defines the vanishing point of the horizon.
When printed, smooth areas remain white and rough areas print dark. In this print the artist emphasizes the infinity of space as the perspective of the building diminishes to a single vanishing point.
