If every brick on a far wall is clearly shown which cue is ignored?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Cue of decreasing detail with distance
Because of visual distance and atmospheric perspective, fine details in distant objects—such as individual brick lines and textures—should appear less distinct. Showing every brick equally clearly on a far wall ignores the cue that detail decreases with distance. Colour temperature can also suggest depth, but the question specifically concerns the visibility of fine brick detail. Exam tip: depict distant objects with less texture, softer edges, and fewer details.
