Foreshortening
Foreshortening is a technique used in art to create the illusion of depth and three-dimensional space on a two-dimensional surface. It involves distorting the proportions of objects or figures in a way that makes them appear closer or further away in space. This technique is commonly used in drawing, painting, and sculpture to create dynamic and realistic compositions. By manipulating the scale and perspective of elements in a composition, artists can create a sense of depth and movement that enhances the overall impact of their work.
