In today's Lab lead by Ania Pabiś, the group explored the concept of depth perception and how this knowledge was transformed in visual arts - creating and working with depth on a 2D plane.
The workshop opened with a video presentation that discussed topics such as:
- the development of the representation of 3d in art history
- different techniques to approach this effect in painting
(i.e., superimposition & foreshortening)
Ania then presented a neuroscientific approach to perception of depth and discussed it in reference to photography. The participants started an experiment.
Everyone was divided into small groups and asked to create a false representation of one of the following monocular cues, that create the sense of depth on 2D plane.
Perspective
Relative Space
Aerial Perspective
Interposition
Curvilinear Perspective
Lighting
Shadowing
Blur
Walking around the room (and even around the block) I found that each group had their unique, creative approach.
It's only the second week, and the young photographers are progressing efficiently, each adopting new skills in their own ways.
Tune in to our blog updates to see the results!
