Size Variation• A technique for

making something appear closer or farther away. The closer something is the bigger it appears.

Perspective A technique for creating a picture

that looks three dimensional on a two dimensional surface. Using a vanishing point and converging lines.

Size Variation7. What part of this

picture is closest to you?

8. What part of the picture is biggest?

9. Is Leonardo using perspective?
