VALUE PATTERNS: 3-D Space or The Illusion of Depth


Last Thursday and Monday the class worked on paintings with the objective of creating a three-dimensional sense of space. Students addressed and employed the Distal Cues to varying degrees. Jessica has created a beautifully crafted painting of a couple exiting a room and entering a deep, open landscape. The values and shapes are bold and well defined. She has skillfully balanced organic shapes against the stability of the vertical and horizontal shapes constructing the architecture.

Kimberly has very effectively used value to create very stark and dramatic lighting conditions. The image is reminiscent of a snow covered landscape illuminated by a crisp winter moon. The values are rich and clearly defined. She too has used the Distal Cues with great effect.
