Explain the artistic techniques of perspective and chiaroscuro?
Perspective is a method that makes a drawing or painting look three-dimensional. Artists had tried to use perspective before, but Renaissance artists perfected it. Using perspective, objects in a scene appear to be at different distances away from the viewer. The result is a more realistic image. To make their paintings more realistic, artists had also used a technique called chiaroscuro. Chiaroscuro softened edges by using light and shadows instead of stiff outlines to separate objects. In Italian, chiaro means "clear or light," and oscuro means "dark." Chiaroscuro created more drama and emotion in a painting.
