Visually examine the physical world that you can see. How do you know when things occupy three-dimensional space like a desk or are two-dimensional like a piece of paper? How do you know which things are closer to you? An understanding of how we perceive form and depth is fundamental to being able to live in the visual world and create and draw things. By knowing how form and space are perceived we can keep from bumping into things and make design decisions that enhance the three-dimensional qualities of our environments.

Find a photograph that in your estimation creates a strong illusion of three-dimensional form and space. Analyze the photo and identify all the visual cues that are contributing to the illusion. Finally, design a presentation that contains the photo and your analysis.
