This was an unexpectedly spiritual experience at the end, which I appreciated. It certainly helped my morning. I've always wondered about the techniques artists use in their preliminary sketches to create illusions, so I appreciate the insight too.
Hi! I an art student from Brazil and even though I've learned all that, I still really enjoy your take on teaching it. Your Pugilatore in Riposo video also helped me a lot on an essay I did about it, really useful since I can't have the luxury of actually seeing it live. Thanks!
You guys are an awesome pair of artistic geniuses narrating the marvelous art since time began. Jesus Christ and the Last Supper and the vanishing pointing is amazing! I so appreciate you both Dr Zucker and Dr Beth Harris in explaining and teaching us culture and knowledge. xo :)
Another Question, The horizontal line I understand but the point that you put outside the image that can be put anywhere so how do you determine how far away from the center of your image or painting that you're going to put that reference point if it's closer it'll change the angle of those diagonal lines then it would be if it was farther away
You need to know more concepts to understand it, but its distance to the central vanishing point is equal to the distance of the observer to the imaginary frontal plane where everything is projected and where true measures are placed. I teach/tutor on this and I'm accepting students ;)
Thanks! I found one at Cornell University Library, Rare and Manuscript Collections, but wasn't the exact same one here which actually makes me wonder if Vasari created two different versions of Brunelleschi's profile portrait in his book. They both look almost the same, but the one in this video is a wee bit darker in colour, and different in style.
Does the vanishing point always have to be in the middle? Would there be a formula for stacking this sketch in other words two Vanishing points on one piece of art? For example Rolling Hills this technique wouldn't apply or maybe it would and I just don't know how to apply it.
The center one is there to simulate where are you looking at, hence refers to the the VP of the perpendicular lines to any frontal plane. Any parallel lines have the same VP, so there are infinite possibilities. Check out 3 point perspective.
I am pretty sure we didn't say something was wrong with computer., Further, I am unclear what your question has to do with the history of linear perspective?
Never mind I think I interpreted it wrong because in the beginning you said that it was not Photoshop on a computer but real pen and ink and I thought you meant it wasn't drawn digitally but now I realize you meant it wasn't a photoshopped image. I am so so so sorry for wasting your time. I love your videos and they are so helpful thank you!
i kept my jaw dropped the whole part they were explaining about the perspective stuff wow
THE EYE LINE. THE EYE LINE WAS ALL I WAS MISSING!! THANK YOU FOR THIS SO MUCH!
This is wonderful! Hard to find quality education so open sourced like Khan academy anymore these days, thank you so much!

This is such sensational work, thank you so so much!

anyone here because we had to watch this for school?💀
ayeeee
Meee✊😔
Me
I know nothing about art and have zero talent for drawing... this is magic!!!
You did a great job, I want share this with my students.
Nicely presented in a calm, happy way. Thanks!
Magnificent. Cleár and pedagogic. Thank you!
Wonderfully helpful and so well explained!

Thank you! Now I might be able to catch up with my kids who learned this in a school system with an excellent art program!
This explains it perfectly!
Finally, an explanation that makes sense!
fascinating. thank you for posting this
Genius!
Tutorial starts at 4:13 if you have to draw a sketch for class ;)
Doggo lol ik I’m late but ty lmao
wow, this was impressive!
Beautiful
my god i love you guys
Excellent.Please do more videos about technical developments in art history.
A treat!
Great video & approach, I love this stuff!
Well yeah it's on your website lmao
When you create multiple accounts to comment and like your own stuff
Excellent lesson
Thank you.
This is dope on a boat
Learning this in 2020.

Dia 21/04/2023 voltando para terminar ''Uma introdução a história da arte'' no Khan Academy.
This is why it's easier for artists to reflect whether the world is stationary and flat or a spinning sphere.
Wow Excellent job. From india
@ Smarthistory. art, history, conversation.
do you happen to have a link or reference to Brunelleschi's portrait shown @2:29 ?
Not off hand though I assume it came from a later and rather lavish Vasari - The Lives.

Okay cool

So what does that have to do with anything but nothing?
What's wrong with computers and Photoshop? Digital art is just as valid as traditional art.

Ah! That makes sense, thanks for clearly that up. And for the kind words about our work!
