Dating back to the Renaissance, foreshortening
is a perspective technique employed by artists
that causes the objects in the foreground to
appear larger than the objects in the
background. It is easily seen if you view a
person whose arm is straight out in front of
their face, the hand appears larger than it
actually is. Verne Critz second and third
graders tried this experiment in art class by
first putting their hands on their face to
establish that their hands were smaller than
their heads. Then they outstretched their arms
and the person sitting across from them could
see that this hand appeared larger to the viewer
than the person’s head. The students then made
self-portraits to illustrate this technique.
