Loved the visual of the steel ruler being bent and then turned away from the viewer in space. It so clearly showed the idea of a form’s length shortening when in deep perspective while its curve becomes far more pronounced. After, on a friend’s catamaran, I looked over at a sailboat next to us and admired its elegantly curved edge. Across the small waterway in front of us I saw another similar boat, but in deep perspective. The view was mostly of its stern and the curved edge was quite prominent. Thanks for a great visual lesson.
