Art Analysis: Monocular Depth Cues
1) Monocular Depth Cues. Because just what the question asked me to answer, if I be able to look at them with just one eye open, I can still perceive that some things look closer and others look far away, also I could detect depth neat and good when looking directly at the object.
2) In the first painting, the painter uses monocular cue, specifically relative size, because objects such as trees that are closer appear bigger, while objects that are farther away appear smaller. Also in this painting, painter uses relative clarity, because I perceived faraway objects appear less clear than nearby objects.
In the second painting, the painter uses monocular cue, specifically texture gradient, because I could see the texture of the closer woman's

    Christina’s World is a painting set in 1948 by American painter Andrew Wyeth, and one of the best known paintings from the late 20th century. It illustrates a woman lying on the ground in a treeless, mostly orangey field, looking up at a gray house on the horizon with barns and small sheds across from the house. The young woman in the painting is Anna Christina Olson. It is said she suffered from polio (a muscular deterioration) that paralyzed her from the waist down. Wyeth had a summer home close to Christina’s and was inspired to draw the painting after he saw her crawling through the field of her home. The painting’s wasted limbs and pink dress belong to Christina Olson. The youthful head and torso belong to Betsy Wyeth (Andrew Wyeth’s wife) who was then in her mid-20s. Although Olson was the inspiration and subject of the painting, she was not the primary ideal.…

    Depth perception is the ability to determine the distance of objects and spatial relations of objects at various distance. The retina is made up of several layers within contain rods and cones. Cones are any of the cone shaped receptors in the retina that respond to color. Rods are the long shaped receptors that respond to faint light. The eye perceives optic illusions because of blind spots in the eye that are due to where the optic nerve enters the eye and is lacking rods and cones. This area is insensitive to light; the brain will often assume what is there and fills it in with what makes sense.…

    For example, I am observing the above listed painting through a formal analysis of it, and interpretations of my understandings and concluded with the observations. The artist has portrayed an image of girls in the midst. Second, an artists working on a painting that reflects the painting background, while the image on the mirror on the very back wall depicts what appears to be the King and Queen. Just as the mirror used to attract the viewer’s visibility and many illusionistic effects is the formal qualities used by Diego Velasquez; it also portrays reflections of images outside the view. The artist used three primary focal-points including reflected mirrored images, half-length, and self-portrait. However, the depth and dimensions of the painting has been block; this has been achieved through the use of tones, color, layers and shapes to overlap the…

    6. What was most memorable in the book for me is when Walter was trying to escape from the cell that he was thrown into. It made me think about some of the actions I have made in the past and how I could have had much more severe consequences and that I learned my lesson. I can relate it to my own experiences of when I was in Kindergarten and got sent to time-out for ruining someone else’s painting, because I thought that it was better than mine. The pleasure that I found in the book is that it’s fun with Walter talking to the rats, and him getting away in a funny and unexpected way.…

    Less weight is placed on use of foreground, in turn creating less depth. The figures in the painting hold much more motionless energy, their gestures are held firmly without a potential for further movement, like a snapshot. This is easily observed because of the placement of the figures all standing in a line, all the same distance from the viewer. The figure is the focus of the viewer, with the background less important. The figures’ feet almost meet the bottom of the canvas, made a horizontal linear viewpoint overall. This focus creates a flow and path of the viewer’s eye from right to…

    The outdoor mural on the east facing side of the WMCAT building is a breathtaking mosaic called The Metaphorest Project, created by Tracy VanDuinen. This larger than life size vista was an Artprize entry in 2011, and took 2nd place in the competition. This set the standard for not only large-scale public art within Grand Rapids MI, but also the most exhilarating. The scene is an impressive mixture of 2-D and 3-D design, the foreground being mostly of relief sculpture and multi-media mosaic; the background painted. The Metaphorest Project depicts the importance of creation, perception, and the imagination when trying to create a better world for yourself and future generations.…

    The man is brought forward and made to be the focal point. So when you first look at the artwork, he is the first thing you see. He is also a lighter shade bringing him forward as one of the closest things to the front in the image, once again making him a focal point. The separate box outside of the image in the artwork is closest to the front of the painting, so the viewer is drawn to reading the details on the box as they are important elements of the artwork. Negative space is in the puddles were he walked through the bed of water. Many different shades and tones of orange and brown are in the artwork creating balance. There are also many overlapping shapes.…
