| Definition: |
A station point is used in linear perspective as a stationary point from which a viewer is related to the object/figure being rendered. It can be thought of as the point of reference from which all things in the artwork can be related to. The station point may be very high or very low. It is important to determine the correct station point when starting a piece of work, because the station point has a key role in determining how the viewer understands one’s composition and relates tot the subject matter. |
