came to my mind. Putting all these things together, I understand much
better why the field appeared so vast.

MURAD: And when the elements of shadow and light are brought
into the picture, the three-dimensional image is complete. For example,
the reason we admire a painting is because of the sense of reality and
depth, and the use of shadow and perspective. Perspective arises from the
perception that things in the distance appear to the viewer as smaller in
relation to things that are near. For example, when you look at a
landscape painting, the trees in the distance appear small and the trees
that are close appear big. Or the image of a mountain in the background
is drawn smaller than the image of a person standing in the foreground.
In linear perspective, an artist uses parallel lines. Train tracks joining on
the distant horizon gives the sense of depth and distance.

AISHA: So it appears that what we call depth and space is an
impression formed in our brain.

In these pictures it can
be seen how painters
give the impression of
depth and reality to the
picture by the use of
shadow and
perspective. All of
these pictures are on a
flat surface but the
lines are made so as to
give the impression of
depth.
