Class Notes 5/4/2018

Here, we form yet another landscape picture using essentially the same elements as discussed in my blog of April 2, 2018 (Class notes of March 30, 2018).  We move those elements around, magnifying some, shrinking others.  We flip some around (like a mirror image).  Extra layers are added.  For a scenery with a body of water, we draw in the line to indicate the contact of the elements with the water surface.  Thus, another picture is obtained.  To add depth, we include a tree in the foreground to frame the scenery.  Water lines (like waves) and reflections work together to render the illusion of water.


The video are as follows:
