Japanese Perspective


This is an image I found from the internet that I thought was very interesting and was a great example of perspective with line. In this photo, the bold line-like wood covering emphasizes how the shape and size of the wood pieces get smaller as the viewer looks farther away in the image. Also, the red is a really nice contrast for this picture with the neutral colors of the pale grass and stones against the background tree canopy. When the views looks at the center of this image they are almost absorbed by the staircase as it blends into the background.

It's really interesting. It's almost hard to tell that behind all the archways is a staircase. The depth and use of line in the image really makes your eye move into the picture and you keep wanting to go in and see how far you can get. The stairway in a sense acts as a barrier and it's telling you that you can't go any further.
