Movement/Motion

This picture has horizontal lines going across and the picture of a little man who is trying to free himself from the lines of the paper. Normal paper has horizontal lines in which to write, and if you try to draw it always looks like the picture is under the lines. This picture starts out like a comic book strip except there are not different panels. The little man changing trying to get out of the lines in the different positions which leads your eye down the line. The movement of the eye makes it look like motion. Even though the little man is not actually moving, when the lines turn to vertical, it makes it look like he is falling. When the little man is suddenly off the paper, it looks like he hoped right off! The bending of the horizontal lines looks like he is bending and moving them around. 

The picture looks like an oil spill going into the drain. The flowered lawn has edges that are wavy and look like liquid. It has a start point of the canister in which it looks thicker then the end point of the drain. The middle point is the thickest where it is supposed to look like it has pooled together before it slowly flows away. The movement of the flowerbed looks slow and steady like oil looks. The motion only is there because we know what flowing oil looks like already. If we had not known what liquid flowing from a contained area looks like already then the concept of the flower lawn moving would be lost. The oil flowerbed lawn has a perceived motion because it looks like it should.
