Week 11 Dimension/Space/Depth/Scale
This is a digital graffiti piece created by Daim. In this piece you can clearly see the use of depth from the way the shapes and arrows scale larger from the center to the edges of the canvas. To demonstrate this, we can look at one of the arrows, you can see that as it scales towards the bottom of the canvas (in this example, the orange arrow with a white arrow inside it) appears as if it's scaled larger as it heads toward the bottom of the canvas. The use of shadows and highlightsre-creates/imitates the third dimension. However, not only are the shadow and highlights illustrating dimension, but also because you can clearly see that this piece is drawn in relations to multiple perspective points which also gives the illusion of dimension on a 2D canvas. Also the contrast between the blue background at the bottom and the grey at the top creates a sense of a wall vs the floor. The grey a fore mentioned is the wall and with a lot white space, it gives the piece empty space compared to the very detailed/filled space in the center of the canvas.
