Road to a Point
Age 13 · Art

In the picture
- The vanishing point: the spot where road edges and rooflines meet on the horizon.
- The horizon line: the flat boundary where ground and sky meet at eye level.
- An orthogonal: a road edge that slants from the foreground toward the vanishing point.
- The nearest house: the largest of four identical houses, showing how size shrinks with distance.
Examples
- A railway track seen from a train seems to narrow to a point in the distance.
- A school corridor looks narrower as it reaches the far wall.
Key takeaways
- Lines that recede into depth appear to meet at one point on the horizon.
- Objects of the same size look smaller as they get farther away.
