ILLUSION OF SPACE
In this painting by Jakob Ochtervelt, the illusion of space is created primarily by overlapping. The woman in white and the chair both overlap the table. The woman in white overlaps the table, the woman dressing her hair, and the servant leaving the room. In addition, the foreground and the figures in the foreground are lighter, while the rest of the painting recedes into darkness.
In this landscape by Ray Morimura, the illusion of space is created primarily by linear perspective. The cultivated fields mostly line up on lines that point to the hills and also angle in towards the center. A secondary feature is the overlapping of the hills with more detail in the nearer hills, but this distance still remains rather flat.
In this roller derby photograph, the illusion of space is created primarily by exaggerated size. The legs and feet in the foreground dwarf the figures in the distance. A second feature is the linear perspective so that the space narrows markedly toward the center of the end of the rink.
ILLUSION OF MOTION
In this photo-montage of cheetahs (or just one) in full run, the sense of motion is created primarily by repetition of the cheetah in ever larger size and more to the right. A second feature is the blurring of the ground which adds a sense of speed.
In this roller derby photograph, the illusion of motion is created primarily by cropping. The forearm of the forward figure is outside the frame, and both figures are just barely within the frame. The stretch of both figures compared to the stationary poses of all figures in the background adds to the sense of motion.
In this roller derby photograph, the illusion of motion is created primarily by blurring. Multiple parts of different figures are blurred, as is the background.
