- LINEAR PERSPECTIVE
- The relative size, shape, and position of figures determined by imaginary lines, converging at a vanishing point on the horizon to give the illusion of depth and imply distance.
- PICTORIAL PLANE
- The imaginary plane on which the painted image is created and viewed.
- SPATIAL DEPTH
- An illusion of distance made possible by drawing figures of diminishing sizes, and relative sizes and positions following the imaginary parallel lines that meet at the vanishing point.
- SFUMATO
- Comes from the Italian word SFUMARE which means to “ evaporate like smoke.“
- This fine shading technique uses gradations of colors in order to make contours transition gradually from areas of light to areas of dark.
- CANGIANTE
- Comes from the Italian word CANGIARE which means to change.
- A technique in which a color is changed to a different lighter hue when the original cannot be made darker
- CHIAROSCURO
- The use of contrasts between light and dark to achieve a sense of volume.
- Shading technique used in modeling a figure for three dimensionality.
- UNIONE
- Similar to sfumato but maintains vibrant colors
- TROMPE L’OEIL
- Illusionistic painting technique that means to “fool the eye”
- FORESHORTENING
- Portray or show (an object or view) as closer than it is or as having less depth or distance, as an effect of perspective or the angle of vision.
- QUADRATURA
- Describes a form of illusionistic mural painting in which images of architectural features are painted onto walls or ceilings so that they seem to extend the real architecture of the room into an imaginary space beyond the confines of the actual wall or ceiling.
