Illusion and Impossible Diagrams (A) 1 Illusion
1 -- Psychology of illusions
The problem of "sight" is important in a plane KOHSEI (Basic Art & Design). Objects influence each other on a screen, which generates
the illusion that one of the objects looks smaller, larger, and/or they
look deformed. In a word, visual effects appearing on a screen are most
important in arts, and the physical shape calculated from the actual measurement
of a model is not an issue. Therefore, an artist must be acquainted with
such a problem as "sight". This is an important and fundamental knowledge
which should be known to all working on two-dimensional models, including
painters and graphic designers. It would be extremely wonderful if a new
method of visual expression could be created by exploring these problems
in depth.
