ABSTRACT

Perspective systems are designed to construct pictures that, when viewed, produce in the trained viewer the experience of depicted objects that match perceivable objects. Space perception theorists1 have written about how our capacities to see are constrained by the perspective system that we use, that is, by our way of depicting what we see. In the arts, the methods of depiction are of significant importance as they are the means of expression and description of imaginary worlds. Artists and designers engage in storytelling and offer a glimpse into their fantasy worlds through unique, personal, private, and idiosyncratic visual methods.
