activity on perspective


Above is a middle-age painting. Study the perspective of the painting and figure out how the painter achieved deepness. I have included here guide questions to lead you through your analysis. I might ask you these questions.

Questions:
• What parts of these paintings look most realistic to you?
• What parts look least lifelike?
• Which objects or people seem closest and most distant in each painting?
• What clues does the artist give that one object is further away than another?
