Linear Perspective is a mathematical system in which illusions of space and distance are created on a flat surface. The system is believed to have originated from Florence, Italy, by an artist named Brunelleschi in the 1400's. Leonardo Da Vinci learned the technique during his years as an apprentice.
To achieve the affect of linear perspective, the surface has to consist of a horizontal line in the middle. This is where the sky and the ground tend to meet. The vanishing point is where the rays, or orthogonal lines, when drawn, appear to meet. This should create a train track-effect continuing in the distance. The overall image should look as if you're looking to the distance.
