Spanish term or phrase: plano de profundidad
Hola,

Tengo entre manos un bloc de dibujo con unas instrucciones en cada página. Este término sale varias veces y no encuentro una traducción exacta:

Ejemplos:

1. Observa los tres planos de profundidad, esquematizados en figuras geométricas.

2. Observa la interpretación del cuadro de Renoir y representa los planos de profundidad esquemáticamente en el recuadro inferior, con el mismo color y orden que el del ejemplo. Dibuja en el interior las figuras que forman los planos.

Se me ocurre "plans of depth" y "depth plans" pero no me convencen...
¿Qué me decís?

Gracias

depth plane
Explanation:
an example (there is a drawing which illustrates it in the link -- hover your mouse over the drawing, and a bird and an arrow will appear in red as a demonstration):

In contrast to the technique of overlapping the repoussoir technique creates an explicit sense of depth in an image.

The name stems from French and relates to the idea of “pushing something backwards”, and it refers to pictorial elements/objects which are deliberately placed in the foreground to create the illusion of immense distance between one or more ***depth planes*** of a picture.

background depth perspective


Explanation:
In photography, also "depth-of-field".

In painting (Wikipedia)

Trained artists are keenly aware of the various methods for indicating spacial depth (color shading, distance fog, perspective and relative size), and take advantage of them to make their works appear "real". The viewer feels it would be possible to reach in and grab the nose of a Rembrandt portrait or an apple in a Cezanne still life — or step inside a landscape and walk around among its trees and rocks.
