46) Illusion of Motion by Multiple Image

You see that this person is walking down the stairs because the use of illusion of motion by multiple images, by placing the same picture in a sequence over and over again to show that he is actually walking down the stairs. 

45) Illusion of Motion by Blurred Outlines

The dog in this photo has blurred outlines to show that it is actually running very fast through this field. That is a great example of illusion of motion by blurred outlines.

44) Illusion of Motion by Repeated Figure

Illusion of motion by repeated figures is when you repeatedly place similar objects close to each other to show that it is moving through time. In this picture the ball is repeated to show that it is thrown between each hand, back and forth.

43) Anticipated Motion

This photograph is an example of anticipated motion because even tho the object is froze in time, you know that the bicyclist is actually in very fast motion.

42) Spatial Puzzles

Spatial Puzzle uses transparency to give you the sense of depth. This picture represents spatial puzzle because all the different shades and tints of purple.

41) Multiple Perspective

This is an example of multiple perspective because it takes 4 photographs and places them together giving the viewer ht sense that it is looking at the object from different angles.

40) Amplified Perspective

Amplified perspective is the illusion that you are looking directly down the barrel of this gun. 

39) Illusion of Space by Linear Perspective

Looking at this picture you can see that the road ends near the top of the picture. That is called the horizon line and also why this is an example of space by linear perspective. All horizontal lines have to meet at the vanishing point.

38) Illusion of Space by Atmospheric Perspective

This shows that the farther back you go the "cloudier" the photograph gets. That is an example of Atmospheric Perspective.

37) Illusion of Space by Vertical Location

This picture is an example of illusion of space by vertical location because the section of the railroad tracks that are in the back are higher on the picture than the tracks that are closest to us.

36) Illusion of Space by Overlapping

The illusion of space is present in this photo because of the overlapping of the mountains. You know that the mountain in the back is behind all the other mountains because everything is in front of htat object.

35) Scale Confusion

This is an example of scale confusion because in real life we know that a baby isn't as small as a persons hand when it is born; it is much larger.

34) Alternating Rhythm

This picture is considered having an alternating rhythm because it has a continuous rhythm. Without showing the viewer, we get a sense that the pattern will continue off the page.

33) Progressive Rhythm

Progressive Rhythm is a pattern that is continuous. The keyboard in the photo above repeats hte square pattern continuously.

32) Absence of Focal Point

This design would be considered to have an absence of a focal point because your eye isn' drawn to any one particular thing. Your eye moves around the entire design without really focusing on one section.

31) Degree of Emphasis

 Primary Focal Point- This would be the red person raising his hand in the middle of the picture.

Secondary Focal Point- It would be the objects in the very front of the picture because along with the red figure they're the only figures in focus.

Tertiary Focal Point- This would be the figures in the back of the picture because they are blurred so much.

30) Emphasis by Placement

When creating this photograph I knew that by placing the 2 acorns closer to my camera that I could place an emphasis on them and have the audience look at the first then go to the background with the rest of the acorns.

29) Emphasis by Isolation

This is an good example of emphasis by Isolation because you can see the boy in the foreground away from all of the other children. This can also be achieved by using a focus and focusing on the child while blurring out he background.

28) Emphasis by Contrast

This photograph achieves emphasis by contrast because the foreground (the tree) is bright red while the background (the grey wall) is a darkish grey there for highlighting the tree. The contrast between the red and the grey make the tree stand out very well. 

27) Crystallographic Balance

Crystallographic Balance is more simply known as having pattern across the entire piece. Here is a good example of that because the shape is outlined as a circle with a repeating pattern all throughout it. 

26) Radial Balance

Radial balance is actually seen commonly throughout the world. Many objects can be considered as having radial balance because they radiate from the center or vis versa. Flowers are great examples of radial balance because you can see how the photo radiates out to the edges because your eyes will follow the pedals on the flower. 

25) Asymmetrical Balance

Asymmetrical Balance is just the opposite of symmetrical. If the symmetry is identically the same on both sides then asymmetrical isn't equal on both side, or isn't balanced. This drawing shows that on the right side the swirls seem to run off the page while on the other side the swirls stay in the page and in the black section. 

24) Symmetrical Balance

The above figure is a great representation of symmetrical balance because it shows us that the bottle is exactly even on both side. More than likely the artist used one side of the bottle to trace out the other because symmetry is when the object is equally halved. 

23) Unity with Variety

Although you can clearly see that the leaves are all different color, the unity between the variations in leaves and how they are placed make an overall picture of a pepper of some kind. 

22) Unity through Continuity

This figure is of a pattern. This pattern was continuously repeated in order to make it a pattern. That is why it is an example of unity through continuity.

21)Unity through Continuation

The continuation of the dominos is a great representation of unity through repetition by making the dominos create a sort of line by placing the dominos in the repeating pattern he/she did.

20) Unity through Repetition

This picture shows unity through repetition because by repeating the lines of the background they were able to emphasize on the trees and their trunks.

19) Unity through Proximity

Unity through proximity is portrayed perfectly through these specific dots on this image. Even without the outline, you can still see that this image is of a dalmatian because of the way the spots are placed. 

18) Visual Texture

Visual texture is when you can see the texture and know what it would feel like if you were feeling it. This dog is a good example of visual texture because you can see by the way the artist painted the fur that it would be soft.

17) Tactile Texture

Tactile texture, in a nutshell, is something that you can physically touch and feel the texture. You can see in this image that if you could feel the ceiling tiles you would be able to feel a roughness. Unfortunately there isn't a good representation of tactile texture because you cannot physically touch and feel this image.

16) Value as Emphasis

This is a photograph of a person jumping the ocean from the cliffs above. The photographer saw that by keeping the dark value of the cliffs he could intern emphasize the person falling. 

15) Value as a Pattern

In the figure above different values were used together to create a sort of pattern. Lighter lines were crossed with darker lines and then repeated on and on. 

14) Curvilinear Shapes

A color wheel is a perfect representation of a curvilinear shape. Any type of curved line that connects and has a sense of continuation is considered a curvilinear shape. They are often used as s-shapes, circles, swirls, etc to create realistic figures.

13) Rectilinear Shapes

These rectilinear shapes all have 90º angles, interject each other, and connect. Only straight lines can be used in rectilinear shapes. 

12) Nonobjective Shapes

Nonobjective is defined as having no object reference and no subject matter suggestions. The triangles, squares, lines, and circles, in the image above, neither have a purpose for being placed where they are, nor have any sense of object reference.

11) Abstraction

This illustration exemplifies abstraction because the figure does not show any kind of worldly figure or shapes. The viewer interprets this illustration instead of having a clear visual representation of something.

10) Idealism

Idealism portrays the world not as it is,  but as the artist thinks it should be. This image is a great example of Idealism because it shows a women with "angelical" like features, not a worldly woman. 

9) Distortion

This image uses distortion to give the viewer a sense of "hyper speed". Distortion is mostly used as an expressive technique.

8) Naturalism

Naturalism is portraying a subject that you are drawing as realistic as possible. This piece of work depicts an asian women playing an instrument. It isn't skewed or abstract in any manner. 

7) Lost and Found Contour

In the painting above the lines in the background begin to be lost with the rest of the painting. However your eyes can connect certain lines to create the over all picture and see that it looks like a boat in the water.

6) Line as Value

In this ink drawing the artist used lines to create different values. He cross the lines and drew layers of lines on top of each other in order to create darker values. Opposite goes for lighter values, the less lines you draw the lighter the value. 

5) Gesture Lines

A gesture line is defined as lines that are energetic and catch the movement and gestures of an active figure. You can see the gesture lines in this drawing very clearly in the shadow that is cast on the side of the house.

4) Contour Line

The above image is an example of contour lines. The artist sketched the outline of the flashlight and not the details of it. Most artists start with this type of sketch because they have guidelines so they don't skew the image.

3) Line as Emotion

This artist decided to use curved lines and long draping lines to extract an emotion that she seems happy yet she has to be perceived as classy. The bold lines suggest that she is a sophisticated high class woman. 

2) Line Direction

This image shows that by drawing a line at an angle you can make a sense of direction. You can see that the stairs curve down to the main floor. 

1) Line as Shape

The image on the left shows that a line is what makes up the shapes. This artist chose to use mostly closed shapes, however open shapes are portrayed on the bottom left image.
