The last one is the tombs which have double characteristics of the real space and image performance. All the three different forms in the image creation imitate the entity shape of the ruins and relics of courtyard. However, due to the differences on multiple factors, like the material, technical, spatial, concept and meaning, those three kinds of courtyard images showing the distinct visual features during the process from the buildings to the images. The graphic is better at creating the spatial illusion. The pottery focuses on the facade of the buildings.
