Many depth cues are used by artists to show distance in their paintings. Choose four of the many depth cues described in your text and discuss how they can affect depth perception.
What will be an ideal response?
Interposition is a depth cue in which closer objects block one's view of things farther away.Gradient of texture is a graduated change in the texture of a visual field; as texture changes across the retinal image, people perceive changes in distance. Finer-textured things are perceived as more distant, and grainier-textured things are perceived as closer.Linear perspective is a depth cue that occurs when parallel lines appear to converge toward a single point; the closer together two converging lines are, the greater the perceived distance.Relative size is a depth cue in which objects producing larger images on the retina are perceived as closer than those producing smaller ones. Reduced clarity is interpreted as a cue for greater distance, since objects that are farther away appear hazier.Movement gradient is the graduated difference in the apparent movement of objects. Faster relative movement across the visual field indicates closer distance.
