Sense Perception-Depth

Depth perception is how our brains decide how far or close something is. Th Ames Room is a specially built room to trick our senses of depth. The room has unparalleled walls and a tilted floor; the mind is tricked into thinking the room is normal because our brain assumes that the walls and floor are level. As people walk around this room, they appear to grow and shrink extremely fast. In art depth perception is extremely important. Rendering and using different values to create shadows can really cause and image to pop off of the page. I have learned that objects at a distance often appear to have a lighter and less intense hue. Sidewalk art is famous for making 2-D surfaces appear 3-D.
