Video Game Questions Cheyenne and Marek

1.  1. Do you think the artist was successful in creating a foreground, middle ground and background? Elaborate why or why not.

The artist did do a great job with a fore-ground, middle-ground, and background. The "dirt" is shaded, making it look closer to us than the grass. Sonic is standing on the fore-ground of the grass and the "dirt wall" behind him. The background is the sky and the mountains off in the distance. We know it far away because they are small in comparison to the main character.
2.  2. Describe how the artist created the illusion of making the characters and objects look 3D.

The artist put highlights and low-lights on the character and the setting to make it look more 3-Dimentional. The darker parts make it look further back or in a shadow when a highlight makes it look rounded or closer.


3.  3. Discuss how the artist used other elements and principles of art and design and implemented them into the image. Be very descriptive.

The artist used many different elements of art and design. They used line in the grass in the middle-ground, and the mountains in the background. Shape is evident in this game because there is geometrical shapes such as the squares of the dirt or the rectangles of the grass but there are also more organic shapes like the roundness of the character's head. The size of the objects makes the viewer have a better idea of perspective. Here the main character is placed against a mountain to show that it's off in the distance. The artist also uses shading and value change frequently, from the grass to the dirt and even to the character's body and head.
