Illusion of Motion by Multiple Image

This series of photographs of a ballerina have been strategically strung together to imply motion from the first to last image taken. Though individual pieces do not imply motion on their own, the series as a whole evokes a sense of motion that cannot be accomplished by its individual parts.

Illusion of Motion by Blurred Outline

The unclear outlines implies quickness as the runner's move past the camera. The centralized figure is the focal point because she is the most clear of the 3 featured runners.

Illusion of Motion by Repeated Figure

Aside from the relevance of the imagery as the Kentucky Derby is rapidly approaching, this image gives the illusion of motion as a race horse runs around the track. We imply motion from the differences in the horses legs from one individual image to the next.

Anticipated Motion

The lifted leg and bat hovering over the back shoulder anticipate the batter's swing as he anticipates a pitch in the strike zone. The catcher is also anticipating catching the ball if it happens to go past the batter.

Spatial Puzzles (Equivocal Space)

The chaos taking place in this painting's activity makes it difficult to differentiate the foreground from the background, which is an example of equivocal space.

Multiple Perspective

This drawing exemplifies multiple perspective in the way that it combines the woman's profile view with her frontal view. While both are impossible to see simultaneously, realistic principles of human anatomy are broken to allow both to co-exist.

Amplified Perspective

Amplified Perspective occurs "when an item is pointed directly at the viewer." What once was a simple building, is now a dramatic image with a unique and interesting vantage point.
