FORCED PERSPECTIVE

 WHAT IS FORCED PERSPECTIVE?

is a technique which employs optical illusion to make an object appear farther away, closer, larger or smaller than it actually is. It manipulates human visual perception through the use of scaled objects and the correlation between them and the vantage point of the spectator or camera.

 

WHAT DOES IT HAVE TO DO WITH YOU?

 

Well I am glad that you asked.  Your homework is to team up with a partner or group of no more than 4 people and create images that show forced perspective.  See samples below.  Every person must create an image.  So if there are 4 people to a group then there must be 4 images.  

HOW DO I DO THIS YOU ASK?

• Well first, you will need a camera or phone with a camera.  

• Include yourself in the picture.

• Combine yourself with an object in a distant background. 

• See the examples, everything will make sense.

• Upload your images to instagram using the hashtag below or email them to Mr. Martinez at jesus.martinez@animo.org
