Textual Gradient

This picture of the rail road tracks is an example of textual gradient, because as the track recedes to a vanishing point the tracks(pieces of wood) appear closer together.

Chiaroscuro Lighting

This picture of my nephew is an example of Chiaroscuro Lighting because the difference in lighting and shadow is strongly emphasized. The part of his face that is shown next to the dark shadow gives an emotional and powerful effect, as if he were hiding.

Figure-Ground Relationship

This picture demonstrates figure ground relationship because the leaping frog, fish, and decorative design are the positive space that dominates the picture, as well as what we pay attention to. The ground which is everything else in the picture, the negative/darker space.
