A lecture for a two dimensional design class covering Space and Narrative.

1. Creating the
Illusion of:
Space

2. Line
• Linear networks and continuity lines help create a sense
of space.
Shape
• Different degrees of representational definition(high-low)
help create space.
Texture
• The levels of density and darkness help create space.
Value
• Value can be used to draw forms and atmospheric
perspective to show space.
Color
• The use of muted tones with intense color also show
space in a composition

3. Linear Perspective
Definition
•A mathematical system

apparent dimensions of
a three-dimensional
object onto a flat
surface.

6. Linear Perspective
Vanishing Point
• The point at which objects
disappear entirely into the
horizon.
Horizon Line (Eye Level)
• The perspective line that helps

To retell the accounts of an
event, experiences etc. whether
