    During the Renaissance, artists developed techniques like linear perspective to make two-dimensional artwork appear three-dimensional. Linear perspective uses principles like having objects in the foreground appear larger than those in the background to trick the eye into seeing depth on a flat surface. Artists studied mathematics and observation to establish systems like horizon lines, vanishing points, and orthogonal lines to logically show depth in their artwork in a way that was not achieved earlier. These techniques allowed Renaissance masters like Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and Raphael to create highly realistic scenes on canvases and walls.

    The passage discusses how Renaissance artists became interested in making two-dimensional artwork appear three-dimensional through the use of perspective techniques. It also provides context about the Renaissance period in Europe.

    The passage explains that early Renaissance artworks showed little depth, and artists began using mathematics and close observation to invent linear perspective, which allows depth to be depicted on a flat surface in a logical and consistent manner.

    Artists during the Renaissance used linear perspective, which is based on how the human eye sees the world. Objects closer to the viewer appear larger, while more distant objects appear smaller. Artists would create a vanishing point and draw objects using orthogonal lines leading to the vanishing point to create the illusion of space.

    Many artists have used a variety of different


    techniques to show depth. However it was
    not until the Renaissance that artists
    developed a system to show depth logically
    and consistently.

    Perspective

    Linear Perspective:

    Based on the way the human eye sees the world.


    Objects that are closer appear larger, more
    distant objects appear smaller.
    To create the illusion of space the artists creates
    a vanishing point on the horizon line.
    Objects are drawn using orthogonal lines, which
    lead to the vanishing points.

    Perspective
    Vanishing Point
    The single point on the horizon where all the
    lines on the ground level seem to come together
    Horizon Line
    The place where the land and the sky meet.

    Lines that connect to the vanishing point

    Objects seen at an angle would be drawn with two-point
    perspective using two vanishing points. Artwork with
    two-point perspective often has vanishing points "off the page".

    Perspective
    Linesleadingtothevanishingpointsarecalled
    orthogonals.

    Perspective
    In two-point perspective the front edge of the form is
    seen as the closest point.

    Perspective
    Draw a horizon line towards the top of your paper.

    Perspective
    Make sure the end of the ruler (or side of the triangle) flush
    with the edge of the paper. If lines are not exactly vertical your
    drawing will be crooked.

    Perspective
    Draw two vanishing points on the horizon line near
    the page edges.

    Perspective
    Now draw a vertical line this is your front edge. Draw
    it in near the bottom middle of the page, so you have
    plenty of room to add more forms to your building.

    Perspective
    Now connect the both ends of the front edge to both
    vanishing points. These are orthogonals. Draw lightly
    so you can erase!

    Perspective
    Draw two vertical lines between the orthogonals where
    you want the back edges of your form to appear.

    Perspective
    Now join the back and top corners to the opposite
    vanishing point to complete the top of the form.

    Perspective
    Erase the extra orthogonals. Now you have a form
    drawn in two-point perspective!
