Masters of Illusion Video

In the video they talked about how you make a flat picture 3D. They say how it is just like renaissance artist trying to figure out perspective and how linear perspective was created. It all goes back to recede to the vanishing point. All artist in the past were very close but none ever fully captured the concept.  Linear perspective makes lines into a structure with convincing depth. The first painting to have true linear perspective looked as if a new room was created. Word in sculptures as well showed a feeling of vast space. The inlay wood veneer to make it look in perspective was first made in Italy. It had systematic perspective that helped create greater depth to paintings and multiple point perspectives. Leonardo Da Vinci found that light enters the eye and light is how it falls on and create form. Reflected light make it look more real and demential. We learned that as distance increases the background turns more blue which is called atmospheric perspective. The less contrast it becomes as it recedes. Anamorphic art is stretched

when viewed from an extreme angle it takes on a new appearance. The point of view makes the view sit at the viewer of the subjects feet. It also pushes the viewer to become closer then they want to be to feel the death. Most of this information I had already known but it was a good refresher to look at before starting to take pictures for the photography project. Learning about how the first wood veneer perspective was made really interested me and made me want to learn more about it or possibly see it in the future.
