REFLECTIVE ESSAY

REFLECTIVE ESSAY
Pick 3 landscape/cityscape images and analyze how they create the illusion of scale and depth.




I'm bored with those other pictures so I'm using some new ones. the first is quite different from the other two. since it's a street view we see a lot more detail in the building, in this case we see how run down it is. we are given the scale by the figure and his dog in the lower left.
the pictures make use of a similar color palette, (except for the last which is strictly black and white. ) which features browns and golds as the lighter colors with shades of blue for shadows and heavy doses of black. the first uses a two point perspective while the others use size to represent perspective. the second image dose the best in showing foreground, mid-ground, and background. the foreground is in deep shadow and partially uses repoussoir along the right side.
