PHO-2052 Chapter Notes - Chapter 7: Filippo Brunelleschi, Vanishing Point, Aerial Perspective
Document Summary
The three dimensions we perceive ourselves to exist in height, width, and depth are known as actual space. The suggestion of three dimensions on a two-dimensional surface is the illusion of space. The illusion of depth is the suggestion of distance. This apparent but unreal space is sometimes called implied space or pictorial space. Filippo brunelleschi was the first to develop scientific, or linear, perspective during the. Some strategies to create an illusion of depth are relative size, overlapping, transparency, vertical positioning, atmospheric perspective, linear perspective, etc. Things that the artist wants to appear close to the viewer appear larger than things they want to be perceived as farther away. The size of an object in relation to the other objects in an image helps us figure out where they would be in a three-dimensional space with depth. Overlapping often works hand in hand with relative size to suggest space.
