• show shapes that are less detailed or blurry
• show shapes with less contrast and less saturation
• show shapes partially hidden or obscured by foreground objects
• use atmospheric perspective, gradually fading colors and clarity as the shapes recede into the distance
• use linear perspective, where parallel lines converge towards a vanishing point to create the illusion of depth and distance.
Artists make shapes in the background smaller than shapes in the foreground to communicate their distance from the viewer. How else might a landscape artist show shapes in the background to depict their distance from the viewer?
• show shapes with bright colors
• show shapes that are sharp and clear
• show shapes with lighter colors
• show shapes that are large and bold
