Illusion of depth? Perspective? Scale of objects and figures?

Visual Arts, Art Making, Grade 8

How does Hirschfeld draw characters in a setting to depict the illusion of depth? Perspective? Scale of objects and figures? How do these choices convey a message about the subject? Examine the work of Georges Seurat. Compare Seurat’s work with Hirschfeld’s depiction of the artist’s style in his drawing of Sunday in the Park with George. Select an appropriate drawing tool, and do a study of a person in a setting.
