Check out Albrecht Dürer

Hard to say who "discovered" it, but Durer is sure early, and he clearly understood mathematics, too.

Neat example of his perspective work here

Where does the vanishing point in art sit?

On the horizon line


What convention did Italian High Renaissance painters often use to create the illusion of depth?

Fillipo Brunelleschi's linear perspective revolutionized drawing and painting. He was the first person to really nail down the rules of vanishing points and perspective grids. Linear perspective is the practice of using a horizon line, vanishing points and grids drawn in perspective to portray things (especially buildings and cityscapes) in realistic proportions and to calculate feats of engineering. This was a huge feature in Renaissance art.


What is the line on which the vanishing point sits?

It can be any line whatsoever: in much art it is the line of the horizon.


What are the perspective lines of art?

Receding lines converge into vanishing points. If you stared at railroad tracks leading away from you, as they approached the horizon, they'd appear to meet. They disappear/converge into the vanishing point.


Who are the artists who uses one point perspective in his or her work art?

Picasso


What are vanishing points used in perspective sketching?

My seventh grade art teacher, Fred Scott taught and engaged us in three types. 1,2 and 3 point perspectives. These all had vanishing points at the disappearance horizon at the top of the paper (or other medium). I am not an art teacher (Self taught) but to get into anymore than four points you would have to hyper-enlarge your work to include the perspectives. Art store consultants/CSR's can really help you on this one and sometimes community college courses for this type of art are very affordable.


What is non perspective drawings?

A Perspective Image is an image that looks realistic and tends to be almost 3D, there is at least one vanishing point. Think of an image of a road. Notice how the road is large where we stand but gradually gets smaller until we can't see it at all? That's where the vanishing point is. A Non-perspective image is an image that lacks in a vanishing point and is almost flat.


What work from the Italian Renaissance uses a vanishing point to create linear perspective?

The left painting only


Where might one find a guide on drawing from a one point perspective?

There are many different guides on drawing from a one point perspective. The best way to find information on creating drawing from that perspective is by enrolling in a local art class.


What is A single point on the horizon line to which all lines parallel to the viewer and perpendicular to the horizon line converge?

It is called the "vanishing point". Your question is about the usefulness of vanishing points when drawing horizontal lines in a painting, and the vertical features of whatever you are painting. It's something you learn in Art lessons.


What is formal perspective in art?

The perspective in art is the viewpoint of the artist. The formal perspective is the perspective that the artist wants the audience to have when looking at the piece.


Where has perspective been used in art?

Perspective is used in nearly all art, except for abstract art. A style that intentionally ignores the rules of perspective is called Naive Art.
