Perspective as Metaphor

Stack one book on top of another book, then add another volume. Just to make it more complex add a small slim book . Now look at the angles, check the edges, estimate the heft of each book. Take out a pencil and draw just what you see.

It's not easy to get each book to nestle on top of another book or to remain horizontal. One book wants to fly off the page, another appears to be too wide on one end. What you see is deceptive.

Perspective-- the appearance of things. Taking a three dimensional world and making it two dimensional requires an adept eye.

Perspective-- hearing someone else's perspective requires real listening skills.
