In Depth I Trust

Creating depth is what makes a piece of art really standout. One way of creating depth is through relative proportion. The format deals with the size of the subject matter in perspective to other objects around or behind it. This is used a lot in my work, which has its limitations. But when symmetry and the right shading is added, it is almost infinite what can be achieved with just a little imagination. Another process of creating depth involves the usage of many angles which complement each other forming a unison line of sight in which the viewer sees the image as three-dimensional. It is basically an optical illusion because the surface, whether on paper, canvas or computer screen is flat. This takes perfect measurements to align objects accordingly. There is much to learn about art, which is a constant as we see from ancient crafts such as pottery, mosaics, architecture etc., that it never ceases to amaze. May the gods grant us with the vision to succeed in our endeavors as we travel through the World of Art. There is new stuff I am working on, which will be posted this weekend and through next week.
