The use of linear perspective and shadow that were experimented by artists such as Massacio did not always yeild the best art. The Expulsion from the Garden of Eden by Massacio is by no means a masterpiece, yet it is highly regarded by the art community because of its experimentation in atmospheric perspective, which in turn helped artists such as Michelangelo reach the level of art that they hoped even gods would appreciate. wkuehnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18140410457017078868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953690364532718935.post-11851123463764545602012-11-10T10:55:52.348-06:002012-11-10T10:55:52.348-06:00I think the reason that a wider range of colors we...I think the reason that a wider range of colors were uses as time progressed was due to the changes in painting mediums and techniques. As you stated Tyler, artist were experimenting back and forth with different pigments and the colors they produced when they were applied to certian methods - as seen by Da Vinci's attempt to paint the last supper on wood. Recently we looked a lot at frescoes, which were a little bit more limited in terms of color usage since the pigments had to be applied so quickly and direclty within the "golden period, or the artist would have to start all over.
