RECAP:
*Last project we examined the different properties of watercolor painting: Wet on Dry, Wet on Wet, Blowing, Plastic Wrap, and Salt.
*Then we re-examined Line Variation through illustrating extinct animals.
VOCABULARY
*Atmospheric Perspective or Aerial Perspective:
• The effect the atmosphere has on the appearance of an object as it is viewed from a distance.
•As the distance between an object and a viewer increases, the contrast between the object and its background decreases, and the contrast of any markings or details within the object also decreases.
• The colors of the object also become less saturated and shift towards the background color, which is usually blue.
Other Examples:
Darker: closer*More detail
Lighter: further away!*less details
Leonardo Da Vinci: Mona LisaA very famous example of Atmospheric Perspective in painting.
Mona Lisa is darker in contrast to the background receding through color behind her.
*VOCABULARY:
*Foreground: The part of a view that is nearest to the observer, esp. in a picture or photograph.
* What’s in the Foreground?Darker or lighter? More or Less Details?
