ILLUSIONARY FORM in figures
Chiaroscuro - Using light and shadows to show how light hits an object
Definition - Boundaries between/around figures
Figure Ground Relationship - Unlike Byzantine work, people are weighted to the ground. Cues such as shadows, flat feet, and a relationship to the environment ground the figure in the environment
Foreshortening - Things that are closer are larger and sometimes distorted due to perspective
Modeling - Making figures look like 3-D forms
ILLUSIONARY SPACE in environments
Atmospheric Perspective - As space recedes (further away) it loses definition and darkest/lightest values. Gets more hazy looking.
Figure Ground Relationship - Objects are held down by gravity and have a relationship with their environment. Shadows help establish that.
Linear Perspective - Straight lines converging to vanishing point(s). 1-point & 2-point perspective
Overlap - Things that are closer are in front of those that are further away
Position - Placement of things that are further away higher up on the picture plane.
Scale - Closer objects are larger than objects that are further away. The relative size of things.
