perspective streets

i like the perspective of these streets because this is an idea of the perspective that i want on my urban contrasting rural street. especially the way it goes on and on until its so far away, you cant see any more of the street.

Manfred Stader

I have researched into Manfred Stader's art work because i like the way his artwork is quite simple objects but he makes them seem more interesting, i could use this aspect in my assignment by learning and using the perspective and 3d techniques that were used. i particularly like this piece of art because its is a simple object but he makes it seem like it is abstract and original.

julian beever

Im going to start reserching julian beever because for my idea, i need to learn more about perspective and 3D, and i like the way that it is perfect only when you look at it from one point. I like this image because it  look near realistic. I also like the way he has made the water look realistic by putting the light reflections into it.

My idea

My Initial idea is to contrast urban with rural. i thought i would show a street going down the road, as if you had taken a picture of a street from the top point and could see it going all the way down to the bottom.To show rural cantrasting urban i would start the street with buildings/sky scrapers in the foreground, then as you looked down the street it would gradualy change into houses, then cottages, then farms but when you get right down the street they would all disapear and there would be two hills at the end of the road. As you look down the road it slowly fades from urban to rural.

clone stamp

 

For this image i used the effect clone stamp, i used this effect because it makes the image more intresting, i like this because it makes the image look abstract.

im going to practice using a range of filters using adobe photoshop
