Eclectic Unschooling

I've turned our homeschool focus a bit toward art recently as we tentatively explore painting in history and personally. We borrowed "Masters of Illusion" from Freshwater Fred's Lending Library. This short video is very interesting! It covers the use of mathematics and perspective in Renaissance (1400-1550 AD) art . We found the comparison of the artists' perspective drawings to those generated by a computer to be captivating. How very exact their work was! I have never been good at any form of "art". My paintings are on par with my first grader's work. My drawings are not much better. Handicrafts are a struggle for me, as well. My brain just isn't wired in that direction. I think we'll look for more resources about perspective in art. There might just be some hope for me yet! If your library system doesn't carry this video and you don't live in a state serviced by Freshwater Fred, it is available for purchase at Amazon.com. The price seems steep for a video less than half an hour in length and it isn't available in DVD format at this time. We plan to purchase it for our home library, though. |
