  7. Perspective • Filippo Brunelleschi developed the laws of perspective. • Masaccio was among the first to use Brunelleschi's rules to achieve the illusion of perspective in his paintings. • Leon Battista Alberti theorized the method in the bookOn Painting

  8. Definition • Perspective in art is a method of graphically depicting three-dimensional objects and spatial relationships in two-dimensional planes. • The illusion of depth in a painting, drawing, or graphic is created using the perspective method. • Perspective is based on elementary laws of optics: objects in the distance appear smaller and less distinct than objects that are near.

  14. Aerial or atmospheric interference with visual perception causes loss of contrast, detail and sharp focus. The effect, which Leonardo called "the perspective of disappearance," tends to make objects seem to take on a blue-gray middle value as they increase in distance. This effect is used by film makers to give the illusion of great depth, but can be used to great effect by painters and draughtsmen. The illustration above shows loss of color saturation, contrast, and detail as the cubes fall further away from the viewer. • http://www2.evansville.edu/studiochalkboard/ap-aerial.html

  38. Nude vs. Naked • “A naked body has to be seen as an object in order to become a nude.” • “Nakedness reveals itself. Nudity is placed on display.” • (John Berger, Ways of Seeing, 1972)

  39. In the average European oil painting of the nude the principal protagonist is never painted. He is the spectator in front of the picture and he is presumed to be a man. Everything is addressed to him. Everything must appear to be the result of his being there. It is for him that the figures have assumed their nudity. But he, by definition, is a stranger—with his clothes still on. • (John Berger, Ways of Seeing, 1972)
