Read/view the following resources and take good notes:
  • READ this article about representing the human body using linear perspective
  • EXPERIMENT with this interactive tool - notice how the artist can control the viewer's perspective
  • WATCH THIS
  • We will watch this in class:
AFTER CAREFULLY REVIEWING THE RESOURCES ASSIGNED ABOVE: Answer the following questions completely and with specificity to the provided resources, previous Artist Spotlight information, personal reflection, and additional research as needed:
1. It is easy to understand how linear perspective can be used to create architectural structures and spaces but how does it play a role in the representation of figures?
2. Define "Humanism." How do you see the use of linear perspective playing a humanistic role in Renaissance art? 
3.There is a direct parallel between the development of ancient Greek sculpture and the way that figurative art developed in the Renaissance... Explain.
