Year 11 Psychology
== Hello Students! Your homework task is to find a photograph online which has the characteristics of Pictorial Depth Cues. It must include the following: 1. Linear Perspective 2. Texture Gradient 3. Interposition 4. Relative Size 5. Height in the Visual Field You will need to upload your photograph on the home page, plus a description of where each of the pictorial depth cues are located and used in the photograph (this must be done in the discussion space). If you are still unsure, please have a look at these photos and the discussion page for guidance. My Example: Beautiful Street in Argentina ** 1. Linear Perspective: Linear perspective is evident in this photograph with the buildings going back in to the distance, the lines of the buildings run away from the viewer and seem to get closer together, making it look like the building further away are in the distance. ** == == 2. Texture Gradient: This is evident in the photograph in both the buildings and in the umbrellas. There is a gradual reduction in detail in both the building and umbrellas as they recede into the distance. ** 3. Relative Size: This is evident in the umbrellas, the light poles and all the buildings. Although the umbrellas are all different sizes, for example they are bigger when they appear to be closer, we perceive the other umbrellas to be the same constant size even though they are not on the picture, this is similar with the light poles and buildings. ** ** 4. Height in the Visual Field: this is evident in this photograph as the buildings closer to the horizon appear to be further awat than the others. Also objects like light bulbs and umbrellas seem to be closer to us as they appear closer to us if they are further away from the horizon. ** ** 5. Interposition: This is very obvious on the whole photograph. For example we see the car that is not covered by the other cars as closer to us. We see the van that is partially overlapped by the silver car as further away from us. ** ==

​ How student learning would be evaluated? The students will be assessed on their ability to: · Display their understanding of all five pictorial depth cues on the Wikispaces discussion · Contribute appropriately to online Wikispaces discussion · Quality of writing and punctuation

This will be assessed based on this rubric
