While I am familiar with the use of numbers in the Bible to connote specific meanings (namely the numbers 7, 666, 12 etc) the use of groups in paintings, and even some of the additional numbers we talked about (4 for the two different types of virtues) were new and unfamiliar concepts to me.  It is an interesting intersection between math, on a basic level, and subliminal meaning that I found fascinating.  Furthermore, in our explanation of perspective, we talked about how perspective helped to engage the reader.  While I had already explored this lightly in my exhibition proposal, I found it very interesting to consider the fact that paintings &#8220;lock&#8221; the viewer&#8217;s perspective at a very specific point.  Keeping this in mind, it is a helpful tool for analyzing art, as you can explore your perspective on the painting and determine why the artist chose to give you, as the viewer, this specific perspective.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this class discussion, we continued to talk about Leonardo&#8217;s exploration of art and elaborated on our conversation about perspective by examining perspective in The Last Supper and other paintings.
