DEFINITION OF BEYOND LINEARITY

• A linear system of spatial alignment which creates an

illusion of depth on a two-dimensional flat surface or
three-dimensional surface such as a relief carving. It
replicates the optical effects of recession, by
organizing space and depth from one point of view.
This system is based on how the human eye sees the
world
• 1) Objects which are closer appear larger, while more distant
objects appear smaller
• 2) The size of an object's dimensions along the line of sight
appear relatively shorter han dimensions across the line of
sight. It is a highly useful tool for creating realistic art.
• TwoDimensional
• Drawing, painting, and printmaking
• Three-dimensional art consists of sculpture, including
installation, and kinetic art.
