Activity 5

Sense of Depth

This image of a set of stairs shows a sense of depth. The stairs lead the eyes upwards towards the top showing the depth of the image. The greenery on the side helps to amplify and show the depth because the trees follow the stairs and gets smaller the further away it is.

Activity 4

Open & Closed Landscape

The above photographs are examples of open and closed landscapes. The top picture is an open landscape photograph because it shows a good amount of sky while the closed landscape on the bottom only shows a minimal amount of sky.

The open landscape image shows the whole scenery allowing the viewer to feel as if they are there with the photographer, where as the closed landscape doesn't show the sky creating a different feel for the viewer.

The two above works of art are of the same subject but by different techniques. The top one is a photograph which captures the real time aspect of the subject, while the bottom is a painting. In the painting, the painter can look at a subject and decide how they want to portray it. They could adjust the sky to make it however they want or change the color of the trees near the bottom. The photographer on the other hand, has limits. The most they could do is brighten or darken the colors of the image.
