Three-Point Perspective uses vanishing points on a horizon line to represent which features?

• A. True
• B. False
• C. It uses four vanishing points
• D. It uses two horizon lines

Answer: (A)

In three-point perspective, three vanishing points govern how lines converge. Two of those vanishing points sit on the horizon line and handle directions parallel to the ground, shaping width and depth as you look at a scene from an angle. The third vanishing point is above or below the horizon and steers vertical lines, creating the tall, foreshortened look of objects when you’re looking up or down. So, vanishing points on the horizon line are indeed used to represent horizontal features, while the third point elsewhere takes care of verticals. The idea that it requires four vanishing points or two horizon lines isn’t accurate.
