Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Linear perspective is a monocular depth cue that allows for the creation of the illusion of depth and distance by using converging lines. In Timothy's painting, the sides of the runway are parallel, which means there are no converging lines, therefore, he is not using linear perspective, and the image will lack depth. Convergence, motion parallax, and height in plane are other monocular depth cues that have little to do with the lack of depth in Timothy's image.
