Illustrating movement has always been an important component of visual art
• Sassetta meeting of St anthony and St paul
Repeating figures: Having the same figure more than once in a composition creates the illusion of movement, and also a suggestion of time lapse, as well.
Alex Katz
Repeating an element (like costume or specific color) will make it clear to the viewer that we are looking at one individual repeated.
Thomas Eakins, Boys Swimming

Memory images: our knowledge of how the world works allows us to ‘see’ movement as it happens.
Bayeux Tapestry excerpt
Exaggerated poses help contribute to the effectiveness of memory images
Picasso, Guernica
Robert Longo, From Men in Cities
Exaggerated gestures allow the viewer to ‘feel’ the movement as well as see it
Discus Thrower, MyronChris Van Allsburg
Timing: at what point will you depict a specific movement?
Right BEFORE or AFTER an event occurs can often be more powerful than depicting the event AS it occurs
Giacomo Balla, Dog on Leash
Visual Fragmentation: one object or person broken into several moving parts.
FUturisn Futurism: a 20th c Italian movement celebrating ideas associated w/ the future: speed, industry, youth, etc. What suggests this sculpture is moving?
Boccioni, Unique Forms of Continuity in Space
Peter Paul Reubens
Optical Movement: The movement of our eyes through a piece.
Jackson Pollock, Autumn Rhythm

How might composition be utilized to suggest movement? How does an illusion of movement vs/ a suggestion of stabilty change the ‘read’ of an image?

Overlapping and Vertical Placement
Limbourg Brothers, Les Tres Riche Heures (June), 1413-1416, Illuminated Manuscript
Assyrian archers pursuing enemies
from the Northwest Palace of Ashurnasirpal II, Kalhu (modern Nimrud)ca. 875-860 B.C.E.gypsum2 ft. 10 3/8 in. high
This Near Eastern Assyrian relief carving uses overlapping and vertical placement as well.
Objects of the same size get smaller as they recede into the distance
The Chinese were one of the first civilizations to use Atmospheric (Aerial) Perspective.
Summer Mountains, Northern Song dynasty (960–1127)11th century, Attributed to Qu Ding (Chinese, active ca. 1023–ca. 1056)Handscroll; ink and pale color on silk17 7/8 x 45 3/8 in.
The principles of Aerial Perspective-
Objects in the foreground are:
1)More detailed2)Larger3)Darker or more intense in color
Linear Perspective – in the early 15th century Renaissance artist Filippo Brunelleschi developed this scientific method of creating perspective based on math and geometry.
The Last Supper by Leonardo Da Vinci illustrates One Point Linear Perspective.
Linear Perspective happens automatically when you take a photograph.
As in Aerial perspective, objects seem to get smaller as they move back in space.
One Point Linear Perspective
There are 3 types of linear perspective:
1)One-Point perspective2)Two-point perspective3)Three-point perspective 2-point perspective
1-point perspective
Examples of one point perspective in Stanley Kubrick films
