Which perspective adds vertical perspective for height, such as looking from above or below?

• A. Three-point
• B. One-point
• C. Two-point
• D. Four-point

Answer: (A)

Three-point perspective adds a third vanishing point specifically for vertical dimensions, allowing you to depict height by tilting the view up or down. In this setup, two vanishing points on the horizon handle width and depth, while a third vanishing point above or below the composition governs vertical lines. As a result, vertical edges converge toward that top or bottom point, which creates the realistic effect of looking up at tall structures or down from a height. One-point and two-point perspectives use only the horizon vanishing points and keep verticals parallel, so they don’t produce that vertical foreshortening. The four-point option isn’t the standard approach for introducing height in perspective.
