Why may reducing size alone not be enough to show depth?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because other cues, such as overlap, placement, and changes in colour or value, also show depth
Gradually reducing size is an important cue for distance, but it may not create convincing depth by itself. Overlap indicates which object is in front, placement helps suggest distance, and changes in colour or value strengthen the near-and-far effect. Option B is wrong because size is a useful depth cue, while C is opposite to normal perspective. Exam tip: mention at least three depth cues, such as size, overlap, and colour/value.
