11PSYC Pictorial Depth Cues by Paige Buenemann https://padlet.com/pbuenemann1/a6lgbjmprhhe en-us 2019-06-20 13:29:05 UTC 2025-12-23 18:42:21 UTC hello@padlet.com Task Instructions pbuenemann1 https://padlet.com/pbuenemann1/a6lgbjmprhhe/wish/368489741 Post here an image of a famous 2D artwork (think photographs and paintings). Insert a description for your image that IDENTIFIES, DESCRIBES and EXPLAINS the use of pictorial depth cues. Ensure that you include at least 3 of linear perspective, interposition, texture gradient, relative size and height in the visual field.

There is also use of relative size, as you can assume that the person is larger than the wooden post in the background. Interposition is also used to express that the person is in front of the railing, and hence closer to the viewer.]]> 2019-06-21 00:43:30 UTC https://padlet.com/pbuenemann1/a6lgbjmprhhe/wish/368570733 Georgia https://padlet.com/pbuenemann1/a6lgbjmprhhe/wish/368570742 texture gradient + height in the visual field + linear perspective ]]> 2019-06-21 00:43:35 UTC https://padlet.com/pbuenemann1/a6lgbjmprhhe/wish/368570742 https://padlet.com/pbuenemann1/a6lgbjmprhhe/wish/368570932 figure ground]]> 2019-06-21 00:45:14 UTC https://padlet.com/pbuenemann1/a6lgbjmprhhe/wish/368570932 Veduta del Canal Grande- Millie https://padlet.com/pbuenemann1/a6lgbjmprhhe/wish/368570965 Texture gradient: the details of the gondolas gradually reduces as it recedes into the distance.

Height in the visual field: gondolas that are larger compared to the rest indicates that it's closer.

Relative size: gondolas closer to the horizon is located further away than the rest.]]> 2019-06-21 00:45:34 UTC https://padlet.com/pbuenemann1/a6lgbjmprhhe/wish/368570965 https://padlet.com/pbuenemann1/a6lgbjmprhhe/wish/368571012 relative size -- you know that the little people in the background are normal sized just far away]]> 2019-06-21 00:45:55 UTC https://padlet.com/pbuenemann1/a6lgbjmprhhe/wish/368571012 Akshitha https://padlet.com/pbuenemann1/a6lgbjmprhhe/wish/368571127 - Convergence (sides of road converge to distance)

Interposition, the overlap of closer objects over those further away, shows that the couple in the foreground are closer to the viewer than the lamppost, as the man’s right arm is in front of the post. Texture gradient is also shown in the decreasing clarity of the road’s texture as it recedes into the distance.

Texture gradient is used to show that the people on the table to the bottom right are further away in the background because they are less detailed. The relative size of all the people shows the size of the environment and lets you know how far away they are.

The pictorial cue texture gradient, which is the gradual reduction of detail that occurs in a surface as it reduces into the distance compared to a surface that is close and perceived in fine detail as shown through the gradual reduction in detail in the trees, allowing us to perceive the trees as becoming further away from us. The pictorial cue relative size is the tendency to visually perceive the object that produces the largest image on the retina as being closer, and the object that produces the smallest image in the retina as being further away and it is portrayed through the bench being larger than the person and hence allowing us to perceive the bench as being close towards us than the person is.]]> 2019-06-21 00:49:40 UTC https://padlet.com/pbuenemann1/a6lgbjmprhhe/wish/368571406 Emilia https://padlet.com/pbuenemann1/a6lgbjmprhhe/wish/368571425 Linear perspective: Parallel lines of bridge converge into the distance.
Relative size: The people are smaller showing that they are further away.

Relative size: the man in red seems to be bigger because he is perceived as being closer.
Height in visual field:  with the ocean leading to the horizon it is perceived as being distant than objects located further from the horizon.
Texture gradient: objects closer to the horizon are seen with less detail compared to objects which are further from the horizon which are seen with more detail.]]> 2019-06-21 00:51:26 UTC https://padlet.com/pbuenemann1/a6lgbjmprhhe/wish/368571540 Daniel https://padlet.com/pbuenemann1/a6lgbjmprhhe/wish/368571639 Overlap to show how the monkey is in front of the picture, relative size to judge how the chairs recede into the distance and texture gradient of the ground ]]> 2019-06-21 00:52:21 UTC https://padlet.com/pbuenemann1/a6lgbjmprhhe/wish/368571639 https://padlet.com/pbuenemann1/a6lgbjmprhhe/wish/368571864 relative size : The cliff looks the same size as the objects perceived closer. 
Interposition : clock face covers the table, being perceived as if it's closer to the viewers 
Heigh in the visual field : Ever tho the cliff and white object seem to be the same size, it is assumed/known that the cliff is going to be much larger. ]]> 2019-06-21 00:54:40 UTC https://padlet.com/pbuenemann1/a6lgbjmprhhe/wish/368571864 Max https://padlet.com/pbuenemann1/a6lgbjmprhhe/wish/368572019 Convergence: The walls appear to converge as distance increases
Texture gradient: The details of the corridor and lockers become increasingly blurry as the picture recedes into the distance

  • Interposition:
    • The dining table is placed in front of Jesus and His Twelve Disciples and they are placed in front of the back wall. The back wall is placed in front of the outside environment, observable by the addition of three windows. 
    • Convergence:
    The use of one-point perspective room design allows the walls of the rooms to be perceived as converging, but are stopped by the back wall.
    • Height in the Visual Field
    The horizon in this image is shown where the (presumed) mountains (in blue) meet the grass (in green). The furthest observable objects from the horizon are the disciples furthest from Jesus. It is known that all the men are sharing a meal together at a straight; horizontal table, thus grouping them and making them all the same distance from the horizon.
