Viva La Raza: What is an example of an artist using a concept from perspective geometry?
This is the “new age” geometry that I am being currently taught. I need help on finding an example where an artist uses perspective geometry to help with his/her drawing. The example has to be very specific, as in if an artist wants to a draw a floor tiling that converges to a point what function would s/he use?

Projective geometry originated in the Renaissance when artists sought a method to introduce accurate perspective into art. This artistic perspective assumed that the viewer had a single, point eye and that the artist’s canvas lay between the eye and the contents of the view. The problem of projective geometry then consisted of discovering how the relationships in the view would be transferred onto the canvas. Projective geometry allowed the creation of highly convincing pictures
