1. Sugges&ng
Space
or
Depth
on
a
Two-‐Dimensional
Surface
The
loca)on
of
objects
is
judged
in
rela)on
to
the
horizon
line
(eye
level).
The
bo;om
of
the
picture
plane
or
drawing
format
is
seen
as
the
closest
visual
point
to
the
viewer.
The
degree
to
which
a
form
rises
on
the
picture
plane
towards
the
horizon
line
indicates
receding
spa)al
posi)ons.

2. Overlapping:
If
one
object
covers
part
of
the
surface
of
another
object,
overlapping
occurs
and
the
first
object
is
assumed
to
be
nearer.
Size:
Two
objects
or
forms
that
are
in
reality
the
same
size
will
appear
different
in
size
depending
on
their
proximity
to
us.
Student
work:
The
size
and
placement
of
these
figures
creates
a
strong
illusion
of
depth
and
space.
3. Sharp
and
Diminishing
Detail:
Close
objects
appear
sharp
and
clear
in
defini)on,
while
objects
seen
at
a
distance
appear
blurred
and
lacking
in
defini)on,
focus,
and
detail.
Close
objects
will
reveal
more
texture
then
distant
objects.
Close
objects
will
reveal
a
fuller
valurange
(higher
contrast),
while
distant
objects
will
reveal
a
limited
value
range
with
a
reduc)on
in
strong
darks
and
lights
(low
contrast).
e
High
contrast
advances,
while
low
contrast
recedes.
This
is
related
to
the
concept
of
Atmospheric
Perspec&ve.
4. Student
work:
This
drawing
uses
changes
in
contrast
and
detail
to
reinforce
depth
and
space.
The
forms
in
the
foreground
are
sharp
and
clear,
with
detail
and
full
value
contrast.
The
forms
in
the
background
are
soIer
in
focus
with
less
value
contrast
and
detail.
6. Atmospheric
Perspec&ve
describes
characteris)cs
seen
in
objects
seen
at
a
distance
from
the
observer.
A
veil
of
atmospheric
haze
affects
and
decreases
clarity,
contrast,
detail,
and
color.
Atmospheric
perspec)ve
is
a
powerful
compliment
to
linear
perspec)ve.
7. Da
Vinci
observed
differences
between
the
subject
and
objects
in
the
background,
and
used
atmospheric
perspec)ve
to
create
the
illusion
of
depth:
the
farther
something
is
in
the
distance,
the
smaller
the
scale,
the
more
muted
the
colors
and
the
less
detailed
the
outlines.

Da
Vinci
