1. The Illusions of Space: Aerial Perspective

* The Atmospheric “Haze” in nature that makes things far away look lighter and blurrier than things up close.
* This “HAZE” is depicted in works of art to create the Illusion of Depth and Space.

19. Directions: 1) On your laptop, Google Images for “Hudson River School”
Directions: 1) On your laptop, Google Images for “Hudson River School”. 2) Choose 1 painting to base your composition on. 3) Save it on your computer for reference. 4) Do a GENERAL “thumbnail” sketch of the composition for practice. 5) Make a black and white landscape drawing BASED on the painting-do not copy it exactly. 6)Label your finished drawing with the name of the artist and painting you are referencing.

20. What I’m looking for: 1) Create Depth by: -Value Shifts -Texture Shifts -Horizon Line -Foreground -Middle-ground -Background 2) Neatness/Craftsmanship 3) YOUR BEST EFFORT! 
