Young artists learn how to:<\/p>\n

\n
• Achieve the illusion of depth by gradually diminishing the sizes of – and the distance between – similar objects<\/li>\n
• Use soft edged and less detail on objects in the background to make them seem farther away<\/li>\n
• Introduce depth simply by manipulating color and value<\/li>\n
• Draw from any viewpoint – on either side, above or below<\/li>\n
• Draw accurate angles without complicated measuring devices<\/li>\n
• Use perspective to track down the problem when something you’ve drawn just doesn’t look right<\/li>\n
• Measure relative sizes and add the details that make the difference between a convincing pictures and an awkward one<\/li>\n
• Properly draw roads, paths, streets, fields and streams to suggest depth in a scene and to describe the flatness or hilliness of a landscape.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
