Week 11_2

ILLUSION OF SPACE:
1. Amplified Perspective. This is when the image is pointed directly at the view, so the image is not the 'typical' angle. A dynamic quality is held by these images. One of my favorite artists is Juan Francisco who draws many pictures with amplified perspective, and all with a bic pen: Here are some examples and then one image with a person in it to give you a better idea of size.























1. Equivocal Space. There is no clear spatical pattern, and this ambiguity is what defines the equivocal space. I feel like i see this frequently in photographs, but not as often in painted or drawn art. I found an example of each:

And the next titled CourtHouse Reflection is a Flicker post by gstuessi's photostream:






3. Open Form. The open form is when an artist has given only a partial glimpse of a scene that then would continue beyond the format. There are very clear examples, but I chose one that I liked. At first was going to be a closed form, but the more I looked at it, there is no defined rectangular format, and has no contained feeling. The paint lines extend outward away from the duck. This piece is a linocut print by Kate Nydam Meberg.


ILLUSION OF MOTION
1. Blurred Outlines: This image was taken from Smashing Magazine. This illusion of motion is done with our interpretation of a photograph or painting that has blurred outlines as a symbol of movement. When there is movement in out vision, it isn't seen as accurately, and we see a blur. The edges are blurred and we lose some of the detail. I love this picture, the subject is actually the thing that isn't as blurred. A little different take on it- the back ground is moving, and the fur on this pups head!

2. Multiple images. This photograph is by Eliot Ellisofon.
There is a suggestion of movement because of these multiple images. There is slight change in the successive position of these overlapping images.


3. Figure Cropped
This image by Darin Mcquoid is a great cropped example. This is a way to express motion by using the composition effectively to give the suggestion of motion. In this picture, the image is cropped so that the kayak is in the lower right corner pointing slightly left to follow the flow of the river. The way it is cropped give the viewer a feel of tipping forward as the kayak is about to fall.
