Vertical Space
Similarly illusion of space can be created on 2D surface plane (Plate16A) through vertical arrangement of the composition. Around the world traditional art has dominantly applied such arrangements. The examples bellow from various traditional cultures have applied such arrangements. Vertically the objects are arranged like ladder-steps (Plates16B&C). The objects arranged in the foregrounds are closer and vertically higher up objects arranged are positioned away from towards the horizontal plane.

Traditional art work followed the ‘vertical perspective’ leading towards a different space realization. Child Art produces similar innocence towards spatial concept. In most cases the comparative proportion and vanishing line based (horizontal) perspective is not realized.
- Overlapping objects may create space

Paul Cezanne’s painting (plate 17.A) composition rear the standing figure is overlapped by the frontal three figures. The overlapping of the front figures creating the depth of field. Three figures are seated in a triangle which is also helping to create the depth of filed. Similarly The Amravati Stupa (17.B) relief sculpture composition shows number figures overlapped by frontal figures and created the depth of filed. The Rajput Painting (17.C) of 1550 AD has number of figures in the forefront overlapping the rear figures creating the depth of field and 3D dimension. |
