This document discusses and provides examples of four artistic styles: photorealism, cel shading, abstraction, and exaggeration. Photorealism involves creating paintings that appear photographic using visual references. Cel shading, or toon shading, makes 3D graphics appear hand-drawn. Abstraction uses shapes and bright colors to make images stand out. Exaggeration describes things as more than they really are, like muscles too big to be possible.

1. Task 2 – Artistic Styles
PHOTOREALISM
Photorealism painting based on using cameras and photographs to gather visual information
and then from this creating a painting that appears to be photographic. As you can see this
game looks almost real the textures on the grass and trees look very real unlike some other
games where it looks cartoony like in cel shading.

CEL SHADING
Cel shading or toon shading is a type of non-photorealistic rendering and an
illumination model designed to make computer graphics appear to be hand-drawn.
In the picture I have chosen to look a cel shading the one on the right is a 3D
model that is of a robot but the one on the left is cel shaded it looks like it has
been drawn but hasn’t and looks cartoony.

2. ABSTRACTION
Abstract art uses a visual language of form, color and line to create a composition
which may exist with a degree of independence from visual references in the
world. It uses lots of weird looking shapes ad bright colors to make the picture
stand out from everything ells.

3. EXAGGERATION
Exaggeration is a term for a figure of speech. It means the describing of something
and making it more than it really is. As you can see the muscles are not even
possible in real life because of how big they are also Ryuis very small compared to
the 3 other men that are giant compared to him.
