Home-based: Understand the near and the far

Near and Far is part of the Element of Art (Space) because it denotes the concept of distance between subjects within a composition.




In the Art language, we can describe space as Foreground, middle ground and background. 

For this project, I will use the Saguaro cactus to help me explain. 
To draw Saguaro cactus, 
- you can draw longish ovals in a green colour crayon or colour pencil. 
- And to fill it with a different green. 
- For the thorns, try white instead of black



To understand Near and Far, repeat the same cactus in different sizes. 



This can be done as one composition (as above) or multiple compositions. 





When the cactus is done, the background can be coloured in.
