22. Value Scales… Tools Artist use to ensure a wide range of contrast (difference) between lights and darks in an artwork. Gradation

26. MC Escher EYE -Can you name some parts of the human eye? Draw and label as many as you can in your sketchbook.

27. Rene Magritte,The False Mirror, 1935.

29. How we see… The eye • Process of 'Seeing'Both the eyes have slightly different fields of vision since they are separated by the nose. Each of these visual fields are divided into the right and left side. The following diagram clearly shows the structure of the human eye and what happens when an object is looked at. Not only do the two eyes see different angles of the object but each individual eye takes in different information, due to the different visual fields. The diagram has given two different colors to the different visual fields to make the process more understandable. Signals from the left visual fields of both eyes are sent to the right visual cortex and vice versa. The information received at one eye is incomplete since only one part of the image is available, therefore both eyes immediately send their information to the brain, so that the information can be combined.
