  1. Talking about art Basic concepts: 1 Perspective, or how we see the image

  2. Basic intro from The Artist’s Toolkit http://www.artsconnected.org/toolkit/watch_space_perspective.cfm What is linear perspective? What is aerial perspective? What is the effect of using aerial and linear perspective? Parallel lines, converging, vanishing point Pale colour, grey-blue, distant objects impression, illusion, depth, distance, three-dimensions

  3. Examples of single point perspective http://www.bridgemanart.com/asset/487819/Pissarro-Camille-1830-1903/Place-du-Th%C3%A9%C3%A2tre-Fran%C3%A7ais-Paris:-Rain-1898-oil-?lang=de Or look up landscapes by Canaletto

  4. Another way of looking Chinese scroll painting uses multiple perspectives. Find an example where you seem to be able to see buildings or structures from several points of view.

  5. Modernism By the end of the 19th century/ beginning of the 20th century, modern artists were no longer primarily concerned with creating illusions of real space. Here is an example of a canvas which we look at as a flat surface. http://www.google.com/culturalinstitute/asset-viewer/deux-ouvri%C3%A8res-dans-l-atelier-de-couture-two-seamstresses-in-the-workroom/sAEarRJo_gdFBA?hl=en

  6. Hockney’s experiments with perspective • Photomontage • In his photomontage works, Hockney constructs an image from a large number of individual camera views.

  7. Another perspective • http://www.google.com/culturalinstitute/asset-viewer/study-of-perspective-berne/JgFdLvh4poUKfA?hl=en • What is Ai Wei Wei saying here??

  8. Write up on your blog At least two perspectives on perspective. Compare at least two works of art (paintings) that use different perspective techniques. These may be one traditional and one modern OR one western and one from another culture. Describe the two artworks and compare the differences in how we look at them. (How are your eyes led around the picture?)
