Repeating shapes make a flat picture look deeper through several visual cues. Linear perspective is created when identical shapes are drawn to appear smaller and closer together as they recede towards a vanishing point, which is the spot on the horizon where parallel lines seem to meet. This gives the illusion of distance. Scale diminution further enhances depth, where shapes that are known to be the same size in reality are depicted as progressively smaller, suggesting they are further away from the viewer. For example, a row of identical poles appearing smaller in the distance creates depth. Ov....
