Question 1: What are Durer’s rules for perspectival projection? (Maximum 100 words) Firstly, Durer used the drawing tools which design by himself to explain the concept of the perspectival projector, which described as “seeing through“. In planar medium, it can be used for creat three dimentional space, which is similar as the glass can reflect the object in the real world.

Secondly, Durer’s rules also explain that all the parallel lines can will meet at one common vanishing point,which is the central point in the horizon view.

Thirdly, it also describes that equal dimentions recede at a constant progressive rates.
