Question

you are an artist painting a scene which includes buildings, fields, a river, and a mountain. describe how you would use at least five monocular cues to give your painting a sense of depth. Thanks in advance!!!!

Answer 1

Since this is Psychology, I'm not going to give you exact answers, but I'll remind you of what, exactly, the monocular cues are.

Interposition (overlapping) - when the first object is placed over a second object, the first object appears closer than the second, which is partially blocked.

Relative Height - the object closer to the horizon is perceived as farther away, and the object further from the horizon is perceived as closer

Familiar Size - when an object is familiar to us, our brain compares the perceived size of the object to this expected size and thus acquires information about the distance of the object

Texture Gradient - all surfaces have a texture, and as the surface goes into the distance, it becomes smoother and finer.

Shadow - objects don’t usually allow light to pass through and therefore cast a shadow. Some general rules for this phenomenon are:
*with one source of light, all shadows lie in same direction
*with an object on the ground, the shadow appears on the other side of the source
*with a hole in the ground, the shadow appears on the same side as the source
*the object covered by the shadow is perceived to be further away then the object in the light

Linear Perspective - when looking down two parallel lines, they are perceived to come closer and meet at one point

As for your point of view, that's your job. Sorry.

Answer 2

1) I'd have my mother in the feild, standing next to Oedipus. My mother would be wearing a monocle. They'd be in a field
2) I'd be swimming in a river, slightly smaller than them because I was further away.
3) the river would lead to some buildings, with a large cinema and some greek houses. They'd be small but kinda detailed.
4) close to the horizon would be Ziggy Freud himself, kinda blurry because he was far away.
5) In the back, in blue, would be mount olympus.
