Week Il = Illusion of space and motion

In all of these examples the red outline is my addition in Photoshop to illustrate my point and is not part of the original artwork.

Illusion of Space 



Size:
This painting by  Linh Chin-Lai
uses size to create the illusion of space. Flowers in the foreground are larger, flowers get smaller as they recede into the distance.
















Overlapping:
It wasn't clear who the artist is on this one, off of webshots website, loaded by prasantti, but this is an example of the use of overlapping to create space. The young girl in front of the dying girl in the lap of the mother, with a women behind her and yet another behind her give the illusion of depth and space.






One-point perspective:

This photograph from Retro-perspective Fine Art Prints utilizes the lines of the bridge and the railroad tracks to focus the eye to a single focal point, giving it a one-point perspective.














Illusion of Motion


Repeated figures:
The repeated figurines of rabbits by Pierre Vanni gives this sculpture a sense of motion  as you expect more and more to show up. This sculpture also uses anticipation by the position of the running legs to allude to motion.











Figure cropped:
This painting called Ballroom Dancing by John LaGatta crops out the extension of the man's legs and the woman's arm to maintain imagined motion by suggestion.














Op art:
This optical illusion by Japanese artist A. Kitaoka uses only static lines to create a sense of motion.
