-Charles Webster Leadbeater
“It is one of the commonest of mistakes to consider that the limit of our power of perception is also the limit of all there is to perceive”

Visual PerceptionHow our eyes interpret images
The rods and cones (photoreceptors) are responsible for detecting light Rods used for dim light Cones used for bright light
Cones divided into 3 groups depending on the wavelength they absorb Short wavelength = blue Medium wavelength = green Long wavelength = red
Cones and adapting to light and dark Need to adjust to a dark room
because lack of light causes lack of cone stimulus

Visual PerceptionLight and Color
The color of an object is determined by which light waves it absorbs and reflects Ex. When an object
appears black- all the wavelengths of light are being absorbed
Solid objects will mostly reflect light, but transparent objects will transmit light through them

Visual PerceptionA Memory of Light
Holography allows the light scattered from an object to be recorded and later reconstructed so that it appears that the object is in the same position, relative to the recording medium, as when it was recorded Can see light as a physical property

Visual PerceptionFilling in the Gaps
“We don’t see things as they are. We see them as we are.”
-Anais Nin (Author)
Animation is possible through persistence of vision
Our brains fill in gaps, many times in accordance with what we have already observed and learned visually

Visual PerceptionFilling in the Gaps - Depth Cues
Depth Cues- As we develop our visual senses our eyes begin to recognize the appearance of cues indicating depth
Contradicting cues: Horizon point Height of subjects

Visual PerceptionLearned Perception- A Case Study (“Visual Intelligence” by Donald Hoffmann)
Study by William Cheselden(1728): Boy of 14 was blind from congenital cataracts and was able see after eye surgery Had problems identifying
the difference between a cat and dog until he touched them
After months of observing pictures was he able to identify them to represent solid structures (not just flat planes of color)

Perception Techniques “Art is the only possible means left in this world
now to communicate directly to people’s minds without any translation”

Perception Techniques Light and the use of
light and dark High Key Lighting-
predominately white and use light tones. This creates a softer image
Low Key Lighting- limits the amount of light in an image. High contrast and hard lighting give this image a moody atmosphere

alters its interpretation Lighting from above
emphasizes eye sockets and bone structure
Lighting from below emphasizes eyes and skin texture
