Ashley is trying to create a small Christmas village on the mantle of her fireplace. She bought 3-inch high figures to put near the back. Ashley is trying to increase the impression of depth in her Christmas village through the use of:
Correct answer: D. relative size
- A. texture gradient
- B. linear perspective
- C. light and shadow
- D. relative size
Explanation
Relative size is a depth cue: when otherwise similar objects are shown at different apparent sizes, the smaller ones are interpreted as farther away. Placing smaller figures at the back therefore increases the village's depth impression.
