1. More perspective Using Linear and atmospheric perspective

2. Perspective – the illusion that an image has depth and 3- dimensional space (volume)

3. VERTICAL PLACEMENT & OVERLAPPING INTERPRETED AS 3 RECTANGLES

4. RELATIVE SIZE

5. SASSETTA The Meeting of St. Anthony and St. Paul about 1440 Wood

6. Perspective was a concept that had to be developed. NO PERSPECTIVE Cimabue, Madonna Enthroned, 1280-90

7. Now we see perspective, and it looks real… with the exception of the “adult/baby” There were suggestions of perspective in a Gothic era work. However, perspective is a major development of the Renaissance. GIOTTO Madonna in Glory c. 1311 Tempera on panel 128 x 90 1/2 in.

8. Judging by the Eye Giotto introduced a new kind of realism by creating convincing spatial arrangements. He angled the building, removing side walls to reveal the cubic interior. Giotto. Birth of the Virgin Mary (1320s). Fresco.

9. Atmospheric Perspective, rewind! When using atmospheric perspective… hues more bluish & more pale outlines less precise small details lost color contrasts muted gradual transition

11. Objects CLOSER Appear lower on the page Overlap- In front of Are larger Brighter colors Darker value More contrasts More Details Objects FARTHER Appear higher on the page Overlap-behind Are smaller Duller colors Lighter value Faint/fuzzy lines Very few or not details

12. LINEAR PERSPECTIVE One point; central Vanishing point

13. What is Linear Perspective? A system for representing three-dimensional space on a two-dimensional flat surface. It was developed in Florence in the early 15 th century by Filippo Brunelleschi and Leon Batista Alberti

14. Application of Linear Perspective Brunelleschi's proposal drawing of the interior of Santo Spirito (1543) Interior of Brunelleschi's Santo Spirito

15. Normal Viewpoint

16. High Viewpoint

17. Low Viewpoint

18. Use lines to show the illusion of depth. Receding lines (going back into space) meet at the vanishing point The vertical and horizontal lines are parallel to the edge of the paper

19. The Vanishing Point does not have to be right in the Center of the Paper

20. 1-point Linear Perspective: parallel lines appearing to converge in distance
