  2. shorten lines in a drawing so as to create an illusion of depth
  3. Perspective (from Latin perspicere, to see through) in the graphic arts, such as drawing, is an approximate representation, on a flat surface (such as paper), of an image as it is seen by the eye. ...
  4. To render the image of an object such that it appears to be receding in space as it is perceived visually
  5. (foreshortening) A technique for creating the appearance that the object of a drawing is extending into space by shortening the lines with which that object is drawn
  6. (foreshortening) The representation of forms on a two-dimensional surface by presenting the length in such a way that the long axis appears to project toward or recede away from the viewer.
  7. (Foreshortening) To shorten an object to make it look as if it extends backwards into space
  8. (Foreshortening) If an object is 'foreshortened', it is shown to be smaller the further it is from the viewer and vice versa. This mimics the way the human eye sees three-dimensional objects and is a technique of creating perspective in a two dimensional drawing or painting.
  9. (Foreshortening) A loss of resolution caused by an oblique (shallow) viewing angle that results in a distortion near the edge of the picture on any type of METSAT imagery.
  10. (Foreshortening) Alteration of scale of an image to suggest perspective.

  15. (Foreshortening) The attempt to make an object recede in space on a 2 dimensional surface. For example the Dead Christ by Andrea Mantegna is dramatically foreshortened.
  16. (Foreshortening) The diminishing of certain dimensions of an object or figure in order to depict it in a correct spatial relationship. ...
  17. (Foreshortening) a way of representing an object as seen along its axis, often such that it appears to be approaching or receding from a viewer.
  18. (foreshortening) Perspective applied to a single object in an image, for a three-dimensional effect, which often results in distortion with possible emotional overtones. It is used particularly with the human figure, in Renaissance and Mannerist art.
  19. (foreshortening) The use of perspective to represent the apparent visual contraction of an object or figure that extends backwards from the picture plane at an angle approaching the perpendicular.
  20. (foreshortening) This refers to the visual effect of a 3d object rendered on a 2d surface. In order to give the illusion of depth an object is made shorter than it actually is because it is angled toward the viewer.
  21. (foreshortening) the distortion caused by a telephoto lens; the illusion of depth is compressed.
  22. The term foreshortening refers to the fact that although things are the same size in reality, such as a line of fenceposts, floor tiles, or two arms and legs, they appear to be smaller when farther away, and larger when up close.
  23. To show lines or objects shorter than their true size. Foreshortened lines are not perpendicular to the line of sight.
