Perspective in History

For years, artists tried to find ways to show depth and space.

How did this Japanese painter try to show depth?

Byzantine and Middle Ages

The Byzantine and Middle Age periods used overlapping to show depth and space.

The Renaissance

As we enter the Renaissance, the emphasis moved toward creating a sense of depth. Objects were made to look three-dimensional through the use of shading. But there was still no way of realistically making it appear that things went back in space.

Ways artists create depth

Overlapping – things that are closer are placed partly in front of things that are farther back.

Size – things are smaller as they go back. Location – things are higher on the picture

plane as they go back. One point perspective – lines that go back in

space go to one point in the drawing.

Surrealism

Salvador DaliPersistence of Memory1931

Definition

Writers began the Surrealist movement. In 1924, Andre Breton explained Surrealism in his Surrealist Manifesto, and a few years later artists began to paint in the style he described. Surrealists wanted to free their minds of rational thought, to write or paint the ideas that were buried deep in their minds. These artists did not wish their work to make simple, logical sense.
