Focal point

and observe the effect a large focal spot and a small focal spot will have on the resolution of the image. Chapter 3 of Practical Radiographic Imaging states that resolution is “the ability to distinguish two adjacent details as being separate and distinct from each other” (Carrol, 2007, p. 48). This definition of resolution helps to explain what will be looking for to retrieve the data for this lab. As stated in Chapter 16 of Practical Radiographic Imaging, the focal spot is defined as “the…

Both accurately display linear perspective with the use of focal points and orthogonal lines within their work of art. They both managed to create an incredibly convincing deep space within their paining. Masaccio and Velazquez both successfully use naturalism, in the way Jesus Christ’s muscles are being pulled as…

The layout of the ‘Academical Village’ of the University of Virginia was based on symmetry, which meant that the design of the West and East side of the campus was very similar. From the north, we can see the Rotunda as the focal point of the area. Each floor of the Rotunda serves different purposes; from the top, it serves as a library, lecture hall, as well as science laboratory. To the south of the Rotunda, we can find the lawn, which stretches from the Rotunda to the end of the complex. On…

the lines in the hills, the tree and houses all lead to the steeple. The steeple then leads us to the sky. The tree also leads us from the ground up into the sky.

The moon is the brightest area is right in an area that is majority blue, which gives contrast and all the stars and the swirling wind bring us right to the…

Another example in this particular picture is the redish-pink blanket the lady at Christ's feet has on her lap, this blanket stands out because it is one of the darkest colors in the painting, which could point out its significance. The portion of the image that is the focal point is Christ, everyone in the picture is looking down at Christ, even the angels in the sky. With there being multiple bodies in the picture, a viewer will always look to see what the persons in the picture are looking…

in motion. The artist used digital photographic composite on aluminum as a medium for their piece which adds to the excitement of the piece. The piece at first glance was hard to understand, it seemed to have so much going on even though the focal was fairly easy to see it was not vivid. Although the image seems to hard to see through that is what made the piece so interesting, it’s depiction of one object but from multiple angles creating a non-vivid image that is constantly in motion.…
