Chapter 4

When making art, the creator must have an ability to create the illusion of space and motion on a flat surface. Throughout history, there have been basic formulas to creating these tasks. Many of the classics in art enlisted these tasks. When creating realism, the ability to create these illusions will make or break an artist. These are what make art realistic. I feel as though artist are essentially born with o develop over time and ability to create these things through their mediums. I personally feel as though I have a great semblance of creating illusion and space in m work. Its hard to teach these things to non-artists because they just stick to what they know. I remember looking at some kids one, two, and three point perspective work while i was in school and it completed the task but they still didn't understand all the way. There are o many ways at attacking the solution and many people don't know that. They were all listed in the book. It is up to the artist to explore, understand, and utilize the tools.
