Division of space: foreground | middle ground | background
Proportions & Perspectives:
Central perspective | Bird's eye view | Frog's eye view | No spatial depth
🌈 2. Color and color effect
Color choice: Colorful | Monochrome | Warm | Cold
Color contrasts:
Light-dark | Complementary contrasts | Quality and quantity contrasts

Natural light (sun, moon)
Artificial light (candle, lamp)
Shadow representation:
Hard shadows: Clearly delineated
Soft shadows: Blurred
Plasticity & three-dimensionality: Created by light-dark contrasts
🏞 4. Perspective and spatial representation
Types of perspective:
Central perspective: Vanishing point in the center of the image
Bird's-eye view: View from above - figures appear smaller
Frog's-eye view: View from below - figures appear larger
Isometric: No vanishing points, parallel lines
Spatial representation through:
Size ratios: Foreground larger than background
Overlays: Objects partially obscure each other
Sharpness and blur: Spatial depth
🔷 5. Shape and lines
Shapes:
Geometric: circles, triangles, rectangles - order, stability
Organic: curved, irregular shapes - naturalness, dynamism
Lines:
Horizontal: calm, expanse (e.g. horizon)
Vertical: stability, strength
Diagonal: movement, dynamism
Curved: Liveliness, playfulness
Lines and effect:
Dominant or discreet
Movement and directing the eye
