The meaning of Deep Space (College Work)

The clear meaning of Deep Space is depth, perspective or dimensions of a certain image, in which the artist has used. These consist of Foreground, Midground (Or Middleground) and Background, and that is how an image shows depth. Frequently this is used to characterize a piece of work to represent a scene or a happening. There are many objections to gain if you plan to make an image interesting, or convey depth to draw or attract the human eye to it. Yes, this same technique is used or created by using The Rule of Thirds, but that is just the explanation of how to create depth.


Colour Contrast;
Warm colours which are normally noticed if in focus with something close, is seen mostly in the Foreground. Midground's tones tend to dull or subside to a much more grey tone to its colour, creating a fade. As for the background, covered in grey shades, but still spots of colour can be seen. This is how our eye sees things in real life, and these pictures bring in the same exact effect into drawn stander ed. This determines the space or perspective of something.


Object Position;
Overlapping certain shapes can also create forms of depth or scene, pieces become smaller when they are far away, just like colour, objects change with distance, yet, if more far away, objects seem more closer together then they would appear if a person was much nearer, looking upon it. Your eyesight acts as a sphere, only gifting a certain space or dimension to look, kind of like what Fish Eye does on a camera. The middle is more focused, but the surrounding spaces, you can make out what is there, but it's a consent blurry image. This determines the perspective and closeness of things, detail too!


Brightness and Shadows;
If there is a light source in an image, the light source can also show depth or "Deep Space" in an image quite easily. Dark areas are commonly known for "Out of sight" areas in which, a dark shadow casts upon it. Take a Sphere for example, the darkest areas will always be opposite to the light source, plus, a shadow underneath, if balancing on a table or a surface. So how does this show depth if talking about a huge area of space? Consider where the sun or "light source" is, if it seems to be far away, the shadows become bigger, more longer and spaced out. This is to show how much the sun is shining or focusing on the object.


So, Deep Space (or just space, perspective) can be seen by locating one of these three objections, which is; Colour Contrast, Object Position and Brightness and Shadows. Creating pieces of artwork or capturing a moment on photo, it would be a prime key to be able to example these three key points, to make the picture more pleasurable to the eye.


Personal Pictures that Resemble Deep Space;


 I did a few examples which use the whole meaning of deep space in their own designs. One happens to be a Yin Yang symbol where contrast is mainly used to distribute the white and the black, but it is quite equal in the way it is presented. For example, there is just the same about of white then there is black. So it contains such things as a colour contrast on its own body.






Here is another example of Deep space, but I decided to give depth in quite simple shape forms. I wanted to make a scene where there were light difference as well as perspective difference, as well. It was quite hard, but changing colour tones gives it a much bigger effect over all, using the space which is available.







  This image expresses feeling as well as the usage of simple shapes. Jagged edges and colour areas, you can really see the man himself being attacked by a bird on the other side. The very reason which is quite scary over all.
