46. Illusion of Motion by Multiple Images

The Illusion of Motion can be established by multiple images. By showing an image in different actions or positions can give the illusion that it is in motion or that is has already moved. This street art uses the image of a monkey over and over, but its motion is changed as it moves along the wall giving it the illusion of motion.

45. Illusion of Motion by Blurred Outline

With the Blur of an outline, it can give the Illusion of Motion. For instance, when you are taking a picture and the object is in motion and causes the picture to be blurry. The same element can be acquired in other compositions by a blurred outline. The edges of this street art seem to be a little blurred giving the composition an illusion of movement.

44. Illusion of Motion by Repeated Figures

By repeating figures you can give the Illusion of Motion. When an object is repeated over and over at different positions of the composition in order to give the illusion of motion. This street art shows the repeated images of an older person and a child in white and black. It is repeated across the wall giving the illusion of movement across the wall.

43. Anticipated Motion

Anticipated Motion is the implication of movement on a static two-dimensional surface caused by the viewer's past experience with a similar situation. In this street art the posture of the person along with the fact that he has something in his hand and the way that he is lunged back gives the anticipation that he is going to throw the object. The action has not happened yet, but by the composition you can tell that it is going to happen.

42. Spatial Puzzles (Equivocal Space)

Equivocal Space is an ambiguous space in which it is hard to distinguish the foreground from the background. Your perception seems to alternate from one to another. The illusion of this street art makes you confused and not sure what is the ground and what is the art. The illusion makes  you think that it is going down but actually it is on a flat surface.

41. Multiple Perspective

Multiple Perspective is established when you can see two different perspective in one composition. For instance, if you were able to see the front view and side view of a building in a composition, although not realistically depicted, it is using the element of multiple perspectives. This street are depicts a multiple perspective because in some parts you can see the side of the blue elements and in others you can see the tops. This gives the illusion that you can see all different angles of this one element.

40. Amplified Perspective


Amplified Perspective is established when an element of the composition is put in a view that occurs when an item is pointed directly at the viewer. Both of these street arts show amplified perspective because it looks like the objects in the composition are coming directly at you.
