David Hockney: The Illusion of Depth

Your students will learn techniques used by artists to create the illusion of depth on a flat surface.

David Hockney depicts an object in space by drawing “a walk around a chair”, as he draws a chair from multiple perspectives. The result is many different views of the chair all in one work. Activities will help your students explore many ways of creating a sense of depth on a two-dimensional surface.
