__**Arts and Illusions**__ Hyperrealism is used by artists and it means the people who made paintings that look just like real stuff or like photographs. A three-dimensional scene is seen or made through by a two-dimensional image. The artist uses illusions that make it look like a realistic scene. One of the ways was the use of outline to make form. From the first to now, artists have discovered which information is important to the painting. Science today has found that outline drawings can actually be recongized by the brain faster than a photograph of the thing. Artists uses dark tones to show shadows and form stuff. The shadows were not used in Chinese or Japanese art. Color and contrast were also used by artists to show depth. Artists would put a mountain in the distance by making it lighter and lower in contrast, but on the other hand, the bright and main objects in the painting are always with the high contrast. Scientists found out that cool colors makes an object looks farther away than an object painted in warm colors.
