Launching the Imagination - Chapter 4: My thoughts

Chapter 4 of Launching the Imagination covers the illusions of space and motion, which could be easier said as perspective and kinesthetics. Basically, it gave some semi-scientific explanations for how perspective worked with some helpful illustrations and then began to unpack a series of examples of how it is used. I was impressed with a two page example from Disney's Mulan showing the wide variety of shots and how the various perspectives influenced how we perceive the events. The section on kinesthetic (the study of movement) was also great, and helped me understand how to better imply movement in a still image. Overall I thought this was a nice, fairly short chapter with some information that goes a bit beyond what is taught in a basic art class.
