Perspective in Art
Why study Perspective in Art? • Increase knowledge of parallel lines • Introduce the concept of convergence • Gain a historical perspective of the connection between Renaissance Artists and Mathematicians • Learn about the interconnectedness between math and other disciplines
Who was interested in using mathematics? • • • Brunelleschi Michelangleo Davinci Alberti Donatello And many more…
Let’s take a look at some paintings that were completed before artists studied perspective.
Now let us look at art that was created after the 14 th century and after artists began to use geometry in their work.
Look at this drawing of a stage set. It is drawn to illustrate the placement of furniture on the stage without regards to perspective.
You may have noticed that it looks as if the furniture could fall right off of the stage. Now we will look at the same stage drawn in perspective
What did artists learn that helped them bring perspective to their paintings? All lines that are parallel in nature will converge to a point on the canvas. Converge- 1 : to tend or move toward one point or one another : come together 2 : to come together and unite in a common interest or focus
A good painting of a landscape should look like its image in a window pane.
What the artist sees… A view from the top
How do artists see lines?
The Vanishing Point
The Center of the Hallway
Viewer on the left side of the hallway
Imagine this…
Try some experiments: • Try to draw the hallway free hand. • Using a plastic pane, mark all of the critical points in the hallway as viewed from the center of the hallway • Same as above, only stand to the left of the hallway • Same as above, but stand in the center of the hallway and slant your pane to the right. (Stay perpendicular to the pane)
How do your panes compare to theories discussed earlier?
