All the horizontal lines which are parallel to the imagined piece of paper have to be drawn parallel. Horizontal lines which are
perpendicular to the imagined paper have to meet in a vanishing point. Lines which are further away from the observer have to be
shortened. These rules seem common knowledge today, but they were revolutionary back then. http://mathematica.ludibunda.ch/mathematicians6.html

The Golden ratio is a special number found by dividing a line into two parts so that
the longer part divided by the smaller part is also equal to the whole length divided
by the longer part. It is often symbolized using phi.
In an equation form, it looks like this:
a/b = (a+b)/a = 1.6180339887498948420 …
