Describe how an artist can create the perception of depth on a flat canvas.?

What will be an ideal response?


ANSWER:
?There are at least five ways an artist can convey depth on a flat canvas. First, he or she may use the cues of relative size and interposition. Relative size involves painting or drawing objects that are farther away smaller than objects that are intended to seem near. Interposition involves having nearer objects partially hide objects intended to appear farther away from the viewer. The artist should place the objects that are to appear more distant higher on the horizon and nearer objects should be placed lower on the canvas. Distant objects in the picture should have less detail than objects that are to be perceived as closer. This cue is known as a texture gradient. Finally, the artist may choose to use converging lines to show linear perspective on the flat canvas as well.
