Aspectivity is apprehended only by using several methodologies rather than one, such as structural analysis, semiotics, formal analysis, or iconographic analysis. The whole is unified through a systematic approach. The study of geometric potteries brings amazing results. Indeed, they highlight a more marked presence of processes perspectives than at 7th century BC and the beginning of the 6th century BC, in a constructed image, moreover, according to aspective methods. From the start, the two conceptions of graphic space so knew interpenetrations. In aspective pictures, we also find several points of view in the representation of the same character, while in natural vision, we only have one. There is no single point of view, that of a given viewer, but multiple and significant to see a representation of omniscient way. This feature also allows unveiling certain elements of the scene that would be hidden in a perspective vision. More than a willingness to sincerity, it is a matter of logic.
