Scholarship+(main+page)

Scholarship is a separate exam where you are required to answer two questions (essay format). Unlike NCEA you are expected to make links across art movements. A critical understanding of the artists and their works is important. You are required to make unexpected links across art movements and critically evaluate a range of points of view on a range of ideas within art history.

 * Re-Defining Perspective: [[file:Re-Defining Perspective.pdf]] **

Space in art is created in a range of ways: -aerial perspective -lineal perspective (alberti’s perspective) -overlapping -backs of figures in foreground -foreshortening

Renaissance artists believed that art could be achieved using mathematics and science. __**Alberit**__’s theory is an example of this.   []



<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 16px;">Contemporary artist **Richard Killeen** introduces a new way of perceiving space and perspective. Killeen’s cut outs are hung on the wall and arranged in the way chosen by the art curator, not the artist. The cut outs are 2-dimensional; there is no illusion of space between each image of the cut out. A relationship is formed between each image or cut out which changes when they their are positioned in a new way.

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 16px;">“…… <span style="font-family: "Palatino Linotype","serif";">The unordered (that is, un-represented) world outside the frame: that is what Killeen's cut-outs have joined. For in the cut-outs, all three traditional functions of the frame are denied, or made irrelevant; and new freedoms are gained.” (see attached article for more)
