Artists use the SODIP technique to create the illusion of space by making objects in the foreground larger, more detailed, and with warmer colors than objects in the background, which are smaller, less detailed, and cooler-colored. They also overlap foreground objects in front of background objects and place higher objects further back to establish depth using size, overlapping, detail, intensity, and placement of elements.

1. HOW ARTISTS CREATE
THE ILLUSION OF SPACE.
SODIP

2. Foreground, Middle-ground, Background.

3. S.O.D.I.P.
 The way that artists make things look 3D
is to use SODIP.
 Size
 Overlapping
 Detail
 Intensity
 Placement

4. SIZE- Larger objects in front/foreground,
Smaller in background.

5. OVERLAPPING
Objects in the background are
overlapped by objects in foreground.

6. DETAIL
Foreground= more detail
Background= less detail

8. INTENSITY
Warmer colors are in foreground.
Cooler colors are in background.

9. PLACEMENT
Lower objects are in foreground.
Higher objects are in background.
