Unit 4 Renaissance Arts/ Visual Art

Assignment 2: Perspective in Raphael's School of Athens


Before moving on to Michelangelo, try this experiment.  Print a copy of The School of Athens.  Using a marker and ruler, locate the rays, the vanishing point, and the horizon line. Point out the figures in the painting that overlap and increase the feeling of depth.  Put this in your portfolio for grading.

Note: This was a straightforward assignment and the only problem I had was that the image provided was too small to work with.  I easily found another one on Wikipedia. I used a transparent marker to define the lines and circle the overlapping figures.
