Linear Perspective = creating a sense of depth in an architectural space by using orthogonals and a vanishing point.
Vanishing Point : the point at which all the orthogonals meet
Orthogonals : name for architectural lines that head straight towards or away from the viewer. They are the lines that are perpendicular to the picture plane.
Raphael, School of Athens,
c. 1510.

Portrait of Michelangel
o as Heraclitus
The Lord God formed the man from the soil of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man
became a living being. - Genesis 2:7

(You can show slides like this after you have lectured to show students the types of
notes they should be taking in the beginning of the
semester.)
Example Notes:
David by Donatello is the first free-standing, life-sized nude figure made of bronze since classical antiquity (meaning Ancient Greece and Rome).
It shows Donatello’s artistic individuality and innovation; he pushed artistic and social
boundaries.
Leonardo da Vinci, Mona Lisa,c. 1503-5
Chiaroscuro: Blending highlights and shadows to create a sense of depth.
Sfumato: Smoke-like veil that covers a painting to make it appear more realistic, like there is a haze present.
Atmospheric Perspective: creating a sense of depth in a scene of nature by making far off views 1) more blurry
2) smaller and 3) bluish
(You can also throw in “unkowns” throughout the semester to see if students have grasped the main
points of your lecture.)
We have not studied this work, but, based on what you know about Renaissance art, see if you can
identify the subject, general time frame, and perhaps even the artist or an artist who worked in a similar
style.
Support your answers with proof from the painting or your historical
knowledge.
