Design I (illusionist space)

loading
Actual space
Three dimensional work in which space is a real and tangible part of the design.
Weaving of space
Interlacing of line, shape and form through overlapping to create a shallow, abstract space.
Shallow space
Illusion of limited depth in which the imagery is only a short distance away from the picture plane.
Deep space
Illusion of space created on a 2D surface that seems to span a large area and can appear infinite.
Plastic space
Real three-dimensional space or the illusion of space.
Decorative space
Ornamental areas emphasizing the two-dimensional nature of a piece or its elements.
Space
Three-dimensional void that elements occupy; negative area between elements.
Orthographic projections
Two-dimensional views or an object, including a plan, side views and cut away sections; a blueprint.
Projections
Non-perspective methods for creating the illusion of 3D forms.
Intuitive space
Illusion of space created by formal techniques and conventions intended to simulate it. Usually not intended to mimic real life.
Interpenetration
Planes, objects and shapes seem to slice through each other, defining their location in space.
Transparency
Object or distant view is seen more clearly through an object. Both objects overlap, but both can be seen in their entirety.
Overlapping
Some shapes are in front and partially block others. Also gives illusion of depth.
Vertical location
The higher an object is on the picture plane, the further back we presume it is. Gives illusion of depth.
Foreground
Space that the subject of the artwork is in, or the space before it in which they inhabit.
Mid-ground
Space between the foreground and background.
Background
Space seen in the distance or behind a subject.
Ground plane
A more abstracted plane, or the ground we stand on.
Fractional representation
Several spatial aspects of the same subject are placed in the same area (ex. Egyptian art where the eye is on the side of the head).
Forced perspective
Illusion of distance by creating objects that are smaller than their real equivalents, thus making something look further away than it actually is.
Orthogonals
Imaginary receding parallel lines at right angles to the field of vision which join horizontal lines to the vanishing point; sight or guide lines.
Foreshortening
Something seen lying far away appears to be shorter than if the object was seen full-on.
Vanishing point
The point at which converging parallel lines appear to meet on the horizon line. Can be more than one.
Viewer's location point/station point
In 1-point perspective, the vertical axis through the vanishing point.
Repoussoir
Prominent dark or contrasting form in the foreground in an aerial perspective piece.
Aerial perspective
Illusion of deep space. Distant objects are less detailed and contrasting than nearer objects.
Multiple perspective
A perspective that cannot be experienced in any other way than through the artistic piece.
3-point perspective
Linear perspective in which all lines converge toward a third vanishing point directly above the object. There are no parallel lines.
2-point perspective
Linear perspective with two vanishing points, on the left and right sides of the object on the horizon line. Vertical lines are still parallel.
1-point perspective
System of spatial illusion in which parallel lines converge at a single vanishing point, usually on the horizon line.
Perspective/linear perspective
Mathematical system of representing 3D objects on a 2D surface. Has different view points.
