Unformatted sample text from the term paper:

art, it is a perspective theory of eyeing a canvas or musical piece as a geometrical or mathematical "screen" on which objects converge to create a three dimensional image based on a single-point focus. Tonal images are brought into this three dimensional space through various techniques, including linearity, rationality and order. The same principles apply to the composing of music. When tonalities are applied to these structured perspective, Reed (1996) states, they generally follow these rules of application: colors tend to move outward from the single point focus from warm (red, orange, yellow) to cool (green, blue and violet); and this is generally accompanied by less definition and details in objects, including less differentiation between light and shade values. The reason for this is that the artist designs the single point perspective around the linearity created by the picture frame, and the artists perception of linearity, rationality, and/or ordering of objects within the frame. Under the idea of linearity, objects become smaller, visually, with distance from the eye. For example, parallel lines in the visual field such as a row of telephone poles eventually converge at a distant point until they reach a point of convergence, or vanishing point. This is the opposite of reality since telephone polls to not actually shrink in size over distance, although this is the real visual effect of distance to the observer. In a linear perspective, Reed states, the artist uses four planes to create three dimensional spaces. These planes are the picture plane, a transparent vertical plane from which the observer views the painting; the ground plane or baseline on which the image appears to rest horizontally; the horizontal plane which is considered to be at eye level; and the central ...
