Intention

The illusion created by this street art really captivates me. Sometimes it's because it incites your imagination to a whole world below, and other times because I legitimately cannot tell which aspects are real or drawn. I'm motivated to see the technique behind the work, and how the illusion of depth can make the eye perceive a 3D image from a 2D work of art. The big ideas behind the project are to understand the effects of the relative size, position, and overlap of objects in real life and in 2D art, and how they represent depth. I hope to be able to see the difference between the real and illusory parts of the street art using my knowledge of the illusion.
