PERSPECTIVE AND PROPORTION
Perspective is the technique used to represent a three-dimensional world (what we see) on a two-dimensional surface (a piece of paper or canvas) so it that looks realistic and accurate, as we see it in nature.
Perspective is used to create an illusion of space and depth on a flat surface
Proportion is a principle of art that describes the size, location or amount of one thing to another

MEDIEVAL ART Subjects were religious
RENAISSANCE ARTStill have religious subjectsBut now much more Secular

WHY did the Subjects change?
Medieval Patrons were mainly the Church
Renaissance Patrons were often rich merchants and nobles who wanted pictures of themselves or things that interested them
Humanism encouraged Appreciation of the natural worldAnd the study of Classical art

RENAISSANCE ART
First nudes since Classical times First freestanding statue since Classical
times Humanism celebrates the individual-in
Renaissance paintings people all look different
Oil painting was discovered (vs. tempura) this allowed the painting to be worked on longer (dried slower), show different layers of colour/light

undertones
