The elements of perspective--Of the Point (42-46)
Da Vinci Notes #42 - Analyzing Through Perspective
All the problems of perspective are made clear by the five terms of
mathematicians, which are:--the point, the line, the angle, the
superficies and the solid.
The point is unique of its kind. And the point has neither height,
breadth, length, nor depth, whence it is to be regarded as
indivisible and as having no dimensions in space.
The line is of three kinds, straight, curved and sinuous and it has
neither breadth, height, nor depth. Hence it is indivisible,
excepting in its length, and its ends are two points. The angle is
the junction of two lines in a point.
Keith's Ideas:
1. When analysing, there are 5 steps to follow - the point, the line,
the angle, the superficies and the solid.
2. Divide things into their smallest indivisible parts - these are
your points.
3. Line are the logical sequence of your points.
