| Join us for dinner & mathematics! How to Mathematically Immerse Yourself in a Perspective Drawing with Fumiko Futamura, Southwestern University When strolling around a museum, you have probably seen works of art that create a realistic sense of space. Many of these works are done using linear perspective, using the geometry behind projecting the three-dimensional world onto a two-dimensional canvas. A secret that most people don’t know is that you can often find clues in a painting to determine exactly where to stand to maximize the illusion of depth. We’ll learn the mathematics behind finding this special viewpoint and try it out on a few examples, including one from the Blanton Museum. Please register here by 4 pm on October 25 as dinner is provided for participants. |
