In a beginning drawing class, Baxter's instructor suggests that an illusion of depth may be created in a two-dimensional picture by including parallel lines that converge at a vanishing point. Baxter's instructor is making reference to a monocular depth cue known as:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Baxter's instructor is describing linear perspective, a monocular depth cue where parallel lines appear to converge at a vanishing point in the distance, giving the illusion of depth in a two-dimensional image. Texture gradient, relative size, and interposition are also monocular depth cues but are not being referenced in this scenario.
