As parallel lines recede they appear to converge onto each other..

(38) Illusion of Space by Aerial Perspective!!!!



The different light and dark values of the sky create depth in this piece..

(37) Illusion of Space by Vertical Location!!!



i think this is pretty self explanitory..

(36) Illusion of Space by Overlapping!!!

By overlapping the three items, the illusion of space is formed.

(35) Scale Confusion!!!!!



The comb, powder thingy, other powder thingy, wine glass and matchstick, are wayyy to big in this piece. This causes "scale confusion".

(16) Value As Emphasis!!!!!!

Love this. The artist used value emphasis by darkening everything else but the chick in the blue which causes the viewers eyes to go directly to her. "focal point."

(15) Value Pattern!!!!!

When i do a persons tattoo i have to map out where to put the darker shadows or the lighter whites.

(5) Gesture Line!!!!!!!

Heres an example of a Gesture Drawing. With a Gesture drawing the artist doesnt really focus on details, instead he focuses on the shape or mass of the object.

(4) Contour Line!!!!!!!


Contour Lines are delicate lines used to show details or features. With this Da vinci Sketch you can see the contour lines that are used to show details in the hands.

(2) Line As Direction!!!!!!

In The Creation Of Adam you can almost instantly see the Line as Direction. It is a Diagonal line where the two mens arms are outstretched. Love this painting by the way. Michelangelo was wild.

(1) Line as shape!!!

Ummmm..i think this works? for line as Shape? i honestly have no clue...

(23) Unity With Variety!!!


In the Design Basics book there is an example of unity with variety that is a checkerboard pattern. Well in this piece if you take away the photo of mpnroe you'll see the basic checkerboard pattern. All the artist did was add the different variations of the photos and achieve unity. i think? :/

Unity Through Continuity!!


With this piece you can see how the artist used the "grid" format and the result is unity through continuity. Its pretty boring to me. :/

Unity through continuation!!

The element of unity is acheived in this peice by using a repeating line angle. In the piece the line continues to go to the bottom right.

Unity through repetition!!!

In this piece the visual element of unity is achieved by repitition. By repeating the same image, the full piece seems to make more sense.

Unity through proximity

Unlike the picture below this piece does not illustrate unity through proximity. The figures in the piece are more spread apart and chaotic and because of this the viewer may assume that the fu=igures have nothing to do with each other.



With this piece, the element of unity is used by placing all of the musicians close together and making the seperate artist (from seperate genres) seem as though they were meant to be together.
