Part 1:
The painting I have decided to use that represents at least three uses of monocular cues is Salvador Dali’s The Persistence of Memory it was created in 1931 and the link I found it on is http://totallyhistory.com/the-persistence-of-memory/. The painting includes relative size, relative brightness, and interposition. The relative size allows use to know that the table and cliff and melting clocks are distant from each other and the cliff is farther away from everything else. The relative brightness is shown because the sun is setting behind the cliff so that means that objects closer to the cliff are relatively brighter than the other objects. The interposition is shown by the viewer being able to see that the tree branch is closer
