A horizon line in drawing and art is an invisible line that acts as sort of marker for the artist. The horizon line represents where the viewer is looking in perspective to other objects in the picture.

∙ 15y agoIt is where the sky seems to meet the land or sea when you look in a particular direction, particularly where the land is flat and there is no physical obstructions, like buildings, or where you have a clear view of the sea. We get a horizon because the Earth is not flat, but round.

In a perspective drawing what is a horizon line?
A horizon line is commonly a imagined guide line that represents the horizon in the drawing. In it's simplest form it is simply a line that roughly represents the vertical position of the observer with respect to objects in the scene. It's main property is that all parallell lines converge at one unique point on the horizon line. Setting the horizon line low in the image will yield a birds perspective of the scene, while a high line make a frog perspective. More complex drawings that contain objects that are not parallell to the imagined ground plane will have several horizon lines. For example, consider a simple drawing of a block-formed house with a tilted roof. The horizon line of the house body would normally be the same as the one for the ground plane it is resting on. The edges of the roof would have a different horizon line, above the one associated with the walls and the ground plane. One interesting and valuable feature is that the edges of the roof will converge at a point on it's horizon line that is straight above the corresponding agreggation point for the lines of the body of the house, scince the lines are only rotated with respect to each other along one axis. If the roof has several sections with different angles, their perspective points will all be at the intersection of their corresponding horizon lines and a vertical line through the aggregation point for the house wall. This is true also for a more complicated three-point perspective, with the vertical line replaced for one that is converging at the third perspective point of the drawing. More generally, a perspective draving requires one horizon line for each set of parallell lines. This concept can be extended to make even more complicated constructs with vertical "horizon lines" and even lines at arbritrary angles corresponding to different orientation of objects along any axis. (Do google the differences between one- two- and three-point perspectives. It is also possible to construct a four-point perspective where each set of parallell lines requie two horizon lines, but this is not consistent unless the parallell lines are rendered in curves and is generally very tedious to acheive by hand. The result would resemble a picture taken with a circular fish-eye lens. :) )
What are the four elements of perspective drawing?
The four elements of perspective drawing are the horizon line, the vanishing point, the distance point, the orthogonals, and the transversals. Put together these elements help 2-D renderings appear 3-D.
When a painter uses liner perspective with a low horizon line in the painting this makes the viewer feel as if he or she is?
Above the painting
Is a vertical line parallel to the horizon?
No, the horizon is horizontal. A vertical line is perpendicular to the horizon.
When was No Line on the Horizon created?

The horizon number line is called the?
Not sure about the horizon number line but the horizontal line is sometimes called the x-axis.
What is a place where earth and sky seem to meet called?
A horizon and one can be seen from every point on Earth.
What are Horizon lines in a photograh?
The horizon line is where the earth meets the sky. In a photograph, the horizon line should be horizontal (flat) or the picture will looked tilted.
What came first the word Horizon or the name given to a horizontal line?
horizon is STUPID
Is a horizontal line left to right?
Yes, it is. Think of the horizon. A horizontal line is parallel to the horizon.
What does a painter need to do to create a linear perspective?
Establish a horizon line and a vanishing point
What is the definition of a horizonal line?
