Art Analysis: Monocular Depth Cues
1) Monocular Depth Cues. Because just what the question asked me to answer, if I be able to look at them with just one eye open, I can still perceive that some things look closer and others look far away, also I could detect depth neat and good when looking directly at the object.

Also in this painting, painter uses relative clarity, because I perceived faraway objects appear less clear than nearby objects.
In the second painting, the painter uses monocular cue, specifically texture gradient, because I could see the texture of the closer woman's

The artist has portrayed an image of girls in the midst. Second, an artists working on a painting that reflects the painting background, while the image on the mirror on the very back wall depicts what appears to be the King and Queen. Just as the mirror used to attract the viewer’s visibility and many illusionistic effects is the formal qualities used by Diego Velasquez; it also portrays reflections of images outside the view.

    Depth perception is the ability to determine the distance of objects and spatial relations of objects at various distance. The retina is made up of several layers within contain rods and cones. Cones are any of the cone shaped receptors in the retina that respond to color. Rods are the long shaped receptors that respond to faint light. The eye perceives optic illusions because of blind spots in the eye that are due to where the optic nerve enters the eye and is lacking rods and cones. This area is insensitive to light; the brain will often assume what is there and fills it in with what makes sense.…

    Christina’s World is a painting set in 1948 by American painter Andrew Wyeth, and one of the best known paintings from the late 20th century. It illustrates a woman lying on the ground in a treeless, mostly orangey field, looking up at a gray house on the horizon with barns and small sheds across from the house. The young woman in the painting is Anna Christina Olson. It is said she suffered from polio (a muscular deterioration) that paralyzed her from the waist down. Wyeth had a summer home close to Christina’s and was inspired to draw the painting after he saw her crawling through the field of her home. The painting’s wasted limbs and pink dress belong to Christina Olson. The youthful head and torso belong to Betsy Wyeth (Andrew Wyeth’s wife) who was then in her mid-20s. Although Olson was the inspiration and subject of the painting, she was not the primary ideal.…

It made me think about some of the actions I have made in the past and how I could have had much more severe consequences and that I learned my lesson. I can relate it to my own experiences of when I was in Kindergarten and got sent to time-out for ruining someone else’s painting, because I thought that it was better than mine. The pleasure that I found in the book is that it’s fun with Walter talking to the rats, and him getting away in a funny and unexpected way.…
