My love for art began in Kindergarten when I won a coloring contest and it ended once I realized that coloring inside some black lines isn't really that great a feat. Alberti's "On Painting" definitely had me rethinking my perspectives on art and painting specifically. I remember doing one point perspectives in art class and I never understand the deeper meaning behind it. I thought of it just as a way for Mrs. Burke to bother me with another mundane art project. However now after reading Alberti's view on humans and nature, it is a really beautiful concept. Also the triangle theory we talked about in class, that our eyes naturally shift to view things in triangles, seemed absured at first, but then kind of made sense once we viewed some art in the power point. I would like to learn more about Alberti's views, maybe see some of his paintings.
Sorry for the rush today, busy, busy, busy day!!
