Perspective


Literally, one's standing point, or point of view.

What you can see from where you are.

The picture above is a literal demonstration. Artists must create perspective illusions for themselves- they might be able to see the entire bottle straight-on, but must draw it like they have only seen it, and can only see it, from one angle at a set distance away. Sometimes an objective perspective is forgetting what you have seen before and adjusting- or restricting- your views to that of those around you.

Just as perspective is affective visually, it is ethically, and affects judgment. The tendency is, the closer one is with another, the more good and bad qualities that can be identified in that relationship. With a narrow perspective, judgments will be assumed without full knowledge of a situation, which is naive, as well as the easy thing to do.
