Consolidating Ideas about Space






We talked about numerous traditional ways to create space in a drawing: overlap, diminishing size, change of marks, varying horizons, vanishing point perspective, edges, soft and hard edges, contrasts, high and low contrasts, ariel perspective, and finally what happens with color and distance. Luckily we had a beautiful morning to go outside and put some of these concepts into practice. It was exciting to see people try new idea and see good results. Seeing angles in vanishing point perspective is challenging, we used a handy yellow straw to help us see what subtle angle variations were happening in roof lines.
Sophie Marinkovitch showed her wonderful illustrated story, Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear now on youtube!
