Features: Perspective is a discipline of technical theory in the field of visual arts, with a long history in its application to painting and architectural design, reflecting the integration of science and art. Painting employs artistic techniques such as lines, colors, shadows, and composition on a plane to create visual artistic images, establishing a "plane-space" transformation relationship with real spatial existence. Since the emergence of painting art, people have continuously sought scientific principles to explain it. The introduction of the central projection perspective principle marked the establishment of scientific laws, representing a great revolution in art history and a culmination of centuries of human exploration into the integration of science and art. Perspective principles can organize shapes within a certain medium, allowing adjustments and arrangements of painting and design scenes from multiple or single viewpoints, near or far distances. Today, it has evolved alongside the development of painting and architectural art into an independent discipline, becoming a required course in higher art institutions. As any discipline progresses relatively independently, it continuously enriches, complements, and expands. The author, with extensive teaching experience in perspective over the long term, systematically argues in the book the grammatical role of perspective techniques and theory in painting and design. Building upon traditional perspective theory, the author explores connections between perspective and other disciplines, offering innovative viewpoints and bold attempts in teaching. Through comparisons between traditional and modern painting, as well as between Chinese and Western painting, the author raises exploratory questions about the diversification of perspective from the perspectives of viewpoint, field of vision, and viewing distance. By establishing perspective scenes through the regular rotation of the spatial position of the viewpoint, the author emphasizes the fundamental role of the "rotated viewpoint." These aspects demonstrate the author's years of dedicated research, hard work, and unwavering pursuit of their career. Painting and Design Perspective presents rich content, clear structure, and a progressive approach, with a certain depth. The illustrations and layout are novel, with a strong visual appeal, making it an excellent textbook.
