May 26, 2009 Art History 102: Final Essay Throughout art history there have been several fascinating cultural, social, and historical developments. Perspective was one of the greatest and most important developments in the Renaissance period. Perspective is the technique of representing three-dimensional objects and depth relationships on a two-dimensional surface. Three paintings created by very talented artists express how the progress of perspective was so significant and caused such an immense impact in that point in time. Giotto began the science development of perspective shown in his 1305“Lamentation” painting. This Early Renaissance Fresco was naturalistically created by using the visible world as a source of knowledge. The figures contain bulk and dimensionality that earlier artwork did not contain. They were no longer just flat-like frontal compositions. The diagonal rocky ledge in the background brings the viewer’s attention forward to the group and then onto Christ’s head. As the figures move away from the stage-like setting, they are illustrated smaller and smaller, making them appear as if they really had receded farther back into space. The use of light and shade to produce the modeling effect, chiaroscuro, also helped the artist show spatial depth by creating shadows and body mass. Other artist shortly start to use Giotto’s techniques to achieve that naturalism in there own works as well. The 15th century “Holy Trinity” painting by Masaccio depicts the earliest example of mathematics being used in art with the invention of geometric linear perspective. The vanishing point of this composition is positioned at eye level on the foot of the cross so that observers can look up at the Trinity and below at the tomb. The illusion of this artwork is so magnificent that the coffered barrel vault draws the viewer into deep space as if there was a hole in the wall. Directly in front of the spectator is the tomb that seems to project forward into the church. Naturally sized, fully modeled figures contain realism and volume that adds to this entire illusion called trompe l’oeil, which is French for “fools the eye”. The change of pictured space to the viewer’s position was a significant advancement in painting perception of reality. Raphael was able to master the combination of pictorial science and geometric linear perspective in his famous “School of Athens” painting. This High Renaissance artwork illustrates an ancient Roman architecture setting in a convincing depiction of three-dimensional space. Following the floor’s perspective pattern, the viewer’s eye moves through the group of philosophers going up to the two leaders of the opposing camps of Renaissance philosophy. The vanishing point of perspective falls between Plato and Aristotle which are the two figures in the center of the composition. He also skillfully uses perspective, depth, light, and shadow in his figures to make them appear warm, calm and lifelike. For these and many reasons the development of perspective has had the greatest impact on the art production of its time. The three paintings created by Giotto, Masaccio, and Raphael help support my reasons as to why this is true. Without the improvement of perspective, Renaissance art would have never evolved into what it is today, and these magnificent paintings would have never existed. Without that growing knowledge of perspective, the visible world would have remained scientifically misunderstood.theres 5 paragraphs but i dont know why it came out like that when i paste and copy though thanks!

can someone help me check my puctuation please! i suck at it?

ok, at my school im one of the few openly gay guys. and well... theres this really cute football guy who goes to my school. He's the type youd never expect to be gay!!! ok, anyways well it all started in our weight training class. It all started a few months ago. I started seeing him in between pretty much all of my classes. and every time i see him he looks directly at me until i look at him then he looks away. then when i pass him he checks out my backside which ive turned around and caught him doing on several occasions! next thing, i noticed that he shared his 2nd hour with my friend Connie, whom he started befriending. Which is odd cuz shes defenitely the total oppisite of what the jocks are usually into i gues... shes told me that the first thing he said to her was when he asked her "aren't you friends with that gay dude?" next thing is he's in my weight training class. In here i catch him staring at ALL OF THE TIME!!!!! i remember catching his eye once and smiling at him, he however turned a light shade of purple and looked down at the ground! and the last thing that really made me think he could possibly be gay was when i was on the roman chair in the weight room (something you do situps with and is notorious for making your shorts fall open) he was looking up my shorts! but the things that make me second guess this is that he's had countless girlfriends, and always talks about girls. so did he just get a schedule change and happen to pass by me in all of my classes? does he have a crush on Connie or something and just used me as an excuse to talk to her which is the reason hes always looking at me? what would you do in this situation, im so confused...uhmm, sorry about the length... but thanks for reading :)

does he like me or is this all in my head?

I got a tattoo on my wrist and I dont like it, it was less than a year old and I had my first laser tattoo session 2 months ago. I went this past weekend for the 2nd session. After the first session-i say it faded about a shade down. Still there, still dark. I just did the 2nd session and am wondering if this is really worth it? How long is this going to take? My tattoo is a date in roman numerals-one color.Hey Heather thanks for responding! Yea I think I can only do one more session because its so expensive but if after this 2nd treatment i dont see much results then im just gonna give up. I mean im not expecting it to be completely removed just yet but mine isnt even as faded as yours is-mines still pretty dark.

What has been your experience with laser tattoo removal?

I made a roman shade and followed the directions; however, it is just not folding up right. Is there anyway to force it to fold correctly? Thank you for your suggestions!
