In order to demonstrate the contrast between the foreground and the background, I attempted to show the mountain on the far left as being closer and the mountains behind it further away. I attempted (very crudely, I admit) to show the distance by shading the mountains that were further back.
To demonstrate the perspective, I showed a bush closer to the viewer’s field of vision and to the right of the road. In the further background I showed a smaller tree and smaller bush.
The vanishing point is where the road ends at the horizon, in between the mountains.
It was an interesting exercise in attempting to adapt the text of our readings about da Vinci into an actual piece of “art.” (I use that term loosely as I realize I have NO artistic talent). Believe it or not I tried several times to make something presentable as my art drawing. The one I ended up posting was the best one in my opinion. This assignment did allow me a greater understanding and appreciation for those in this field.
