Value and Illusion of Space

1. Why is value relative?

- Because the lightness or darkness of a shape is largely determined by its surroundings.

2. Why might high contrast be especially important to commercial artists?

- Since high contrast tends to increase clarity and improve readability, this means that a commercial artist's message can be seen, read, and understood much more easily.

3. How can value help create an illusion of volume, space and depth?

- value graduation can suggest a light source, create a sence of volume, or enhance the illusion of space and depth

4. How many different devices are there to show depth? Name them.

- six; Perspective, overlap, Size variation, definition, location, color

5. In order to understand linear perspective, what must be present?

- a fixed viewing position
