For this project, we will be using out digital media in preparation for a larger traditional piece.
Forced Perspective is a “technique which employs optical illusion to make an object appear farther away,
closer, larger or smaller than it actually is”. (Wikipedia)
When objects are placed closer or farther from the camera lens, their scale can produce mind-boggling compositions. Take a look at the video below. Notice how the sizes of objects are skewed based on their distance from the camera.

When composing your forced perspective image, think of props you might use, and the position of the elements on the page. Often, you may not want to put your subject right in the middle of your page.

For the traditional part of the project, we will be looking at the style of Roy Lichtenstein. Lichtenstein's "action" paintings were done in a pop art style, referencing popular comics and newspapers of the 1960s. Below are some examples.
