Intro

• Art takes space which can be incorporated to 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional
• Space gives the illusion can can get rid of flatness
• Surface and Depth can push a space forward
• Picture plane – when a canvas is not seen as flat but can be seen as a whole form and plane
• Foreshortening – when an angle size looks essentially big from distance

Showing Depth

• Changing and varying size is a tactic to create distance
• Using Abstract shapes can show space more easier
• Exaggerating Scale can clearly tell a sense of size and distance
• Overlap – combing and hiding parts is good for the illusion
• Vertical Location – spot of how high or low an object is can show ground
• Aerial Perspective shows distance from how far away things are
• Plan and Elevation – show placement of objects
• Perspective helps with giving a visual point for sight
• Linear Perspective – line to show horizon
• Vanishing Point – where all lines lead to
• Monocular – single point
• One Point Perspective – one easy rhythm that lines follow
• Two Point Perspective – two lines are used to show background with an angle
• Multipoint Perspective – technique with multiple parallel lines

Amplified Perspective

• Special view pointed specifically to viewer
• Example – Uncle Saw “I want You” pointing to viewer

Multiple Perspective

• More than one vantage point can be looked at

Axonometric Perspective

• Using grids and coordinates to form points

Open Form/Closed Form

• Closed Form – objects placed for our eye to stay within range for center
• Open Form – objects pointed outward from normal boundaries

Transparency

• Transparency when nothing is hidden and everything is seen completely
• Equivocal Space – spacial pattern changes depending on how it is looked
