Unit 1.1 Discussion Forum (Pre-Renaissance)

 Artists are starting to think about the human form and spatial illusions, but the shifts are subtle in this time period.  Using one of the images in the presentation, find an example where the artist is creating space in the work, and describe how it is done using vocabulary learned from the content.  Don’t be afraid!  It sounds daunting, but use the resources to help you understand what to look for, and what the terms are.  We will help each other along the way to “see” the innovations of this time period!
