Closed Form

The picture to the right shows closed form. Closed form is when the whole object is seen in the picture.

Open Form

Some of the person to the left is cropped out of the picture which means that this is open form.

Linear Perspective

The handrails on the boardwalk present linear perspective which the lines are receding to a perspective point on a horizon line.

Atmospheric Perspective

In this picture to the left the warms colors in the sky are coming forward while the cool colors are moving backwards this is showing atmospheric perspective.

Lighting

The boats are being emphasized by the lighting of the picture. The lighting brings out the main focus of the picture.

Scale

In this picture the road and the trees seem to get smaller as they go farther back. This is an example of scale.

Texture

The way the lighting is shown on the orange shows that the fruit is kind of smooth or maybe even bumpy. This is an example of texture.
