hello again, my friends! here we have the second to last art class dump- i only have two more weeks of class left :o and the last week is a portfolio so no new art there! this past week, we looked at space/perspective and motion! this is one of my favorite projects we've done. we had to choose from six different kinds of perspective to make four illustrations that follow a narrative/story. i chose to have myself looking for something in grand places, only to find my person back at home :) here are the kinds of perspective i used! use the arrow keys/space/click the screen to continue :) 1. aerial/atmospheric perspective - not to be confused with the aerial shot in films, in which you are viewing something from above, the aerial perspective is when objects farther away gradually get lighter than the ones up close. this is commonly seen in mountain ranges so i chose to put myself on some rocky ground looking at mountains! 2. this is linear perspective- if you've taken even a middle school art class, you've probably learned about this one! this is when everything recedes towards a vanishing point. while it seems simple enough, it can be really tricky to get right! for example, with the classic buildings/street that i did here, the windows should be getting much narrower the father away they are, but i made them pretty wide. the sidewalk is also just wonky so let's ignore that lol. i'm also not entirely sure if i made myself the right size. but on the whole i really like how this turned out! i feel like it shows a lot of dimension and i'm proud of all the detail i put into it! i struggle with making detailed backgrounds so i'm happy about the little touches i was able to add to this one :) 3. this image shows space through size. the tree is the same size as her head, but because we know how big a tree normally is, we interpret the image to mean that the tree is far away. same with the mailbox- its post is the same height as the tree trunk even though it would normally be much shorter, so we interpret it as closer to the viewer. when using size as a tool to create space, smaller objects are perceived as farther away from the camera and larger ones are closer. this is also relative to how big the objects would normally be. 4. finally, this image used overlapping to create perspective. things that are "behind" other things, or which have been overlapped, are perceived as farther away. i'm not super happy with this image though because i messed up my boi's proportions :') he looks like he has the body of a ten year old heeellp the other two space techniques were vertical location and plan elevation. with vertical location, objects that are higher on the page appear farther away. i don't remember/understand how plan elevation works so can't help you there lol ^^; anyway hope you like this little collection of images! they're my favorite ones i've made so far :) i did like the balance ones too but i feel like this was farther outside my comfort zone and i think it paid off! other than the final image i'm very happy with how they came out. i also enjoyed using midtones to add more dimension (i emailed the teacher to ask if i could and she said yes haha. the instructions say to just use black markers). let me know if this was helpful at all or if you have any questions about perspective! :) music - falling for u by peachy!
