The document discusses 3-point perspective in art. It defines 3-point perspective as an art technique that creates an illusion of depth and space on a 2D surface through linear perspective. It notes that linear perspective was developed in the 15th century by Italian artists like Brunelleschi and Alberti. The document explains that perspective is important in art as it gives a 3D feeling to 2D images and is key to realistic drawings and paintings by representing how objects appear smaller and closer together the farther away they are. It provides examples of famous artists known for their skill in perspective like Masaccio, Vermeer, and Caillebotte.

4. What is the three-point
perspective?
Perspective is an art technique for
creating an illusion of three-dimensions
(depth and space) on a two-dimensional
(flat) surface. Perspective is what makes
a painting seem to have form, distance,
and look "real". The same rules of
perspective apply to all subjects,
whether it's a landscape, seascape, still
life, interior scene, portrait, or figure
painting.

5. When &
Who?

6. When & Who invented perspective
drawing?
Linear perspective is thought to have been
devised about 1415 by
Italian Renaissance architect Filippo
Brunelleschi and later documented by architect
and writer Leon Battista Alberti in 1435 (Della
Pittura). Linear perspective was likely evident
to artists and architects in the ancient Greek
and Roman periods, but no records exist from
that time, and the practice was thus lost until
the 15th century.

7. Why?

8. Why is perspective
important in art?
Perspective is what gives a three-dimensional
feeling to a flat image such as a drawing or a
painting. In art, it is a system of representing the
way that objects appear to get smaller and closer
together the farther away they are from the
viewer.
Perspective is key to almost any drawing or sketch
as well as many paintings. It is one of the
fundamentals that you need to understand in
order to create realistic and believable scenes.

10. Artists Known with their
achievements in 3-point
perspective:
Artists known for their use of
perspective include Masaccio, a
Renaissance painter who developed
a realistic style by being among the
first to apply the rules of perspective;
Johannes Vermeer, a Dutch artist
whose carefully lighted interiors
often make clever use of perspective;
and Gustave Caillebotte, whose
"Paris Street, Rainy Day" is a
powerful demonstration of two-point
perspective.
