Study Notes
Depth Perception and Perspective
- In medieval art, people and objects appear to be floating due to the lack of light and shadow, making it difficult to create a 3D effect.
- Linear perspective, a technique used to create a sense of depth, involves using a vanishing point to draw the viewer's eye to a central point in the painting.
The Renaissance
- Classical art was admired by Renaissance artists, who incorporated classical styles into their work.
- Perspective was used to show distance objects as smaller than close ones, creating a more realistic 3D effect.
- Oil paints were used, a new invention at the time.
Features of the Renaissance
- Individualism: Renaissance artists portrayed the importance of individuals, highlighting their status and beauty.
- Beauty: Artists included many details to add beauty to their work, such as intricate designs and scenery.
- Religion: Renaissance art often depicted religious themes, but with a focus on humanism and realism.
Humanism
- Humanism emphasized the importance of human beings and their capabilities, rather than just religion.
- It encouraged an interest in studying the human body and worldly affairs.
Perspective in Art
- Perspective was used to create more realistic works of art, representing 3D shapes on a 2D canvas.
- Artists used light, shade, and a vanishing point to create a sense of depth and perspective.
Comparison of Medieval and Renaissance Art
- Medieval art often had a weird perspective, with holy people depicted unrealistically.
- Renaissance art, on the other hand, used perspective to create a realistic and 3D effect.
