Homework

Read Ch. 4 Illusion of Space, Illusion of Motion and answer the following questions :

Which is more appropriate for your idea: a flat design or a spatial design?

I believe that both flat and special design can be appropriate, depending on the situation. Adding spatial elements to a design gives the work more depth and can lead the eye around the different points of perspective. Flat design are typically more simple and can be used in more minimalist works. Flat designs could include icons and logos.

What happens when static (unmoving) and dynamic (moving) shapes are used together in a design?

Visual fragmentation, where movement is shown in afterimages. Objects can seem to be moving or create a space that embodies movement.

Choose one artist in the reading who you feel was most successful in their use of motion and space and write your comments on him/her.

I fell that the artist that used space the best was Salvador Dali in his piece Christ of St. John of the Cross. His use of two point perspective makes for an interesting that kind of confuses me about the right of viewing the picture.
