The first painting is found at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The name of it is The Manuscript Leaf with the Presentation in the Temple, from a Book of Hours. The artist is Alice M. Dike and it was painted in 1927. The foreground can be the green tile in the front, the middle ground can be the people and the table, and finally the background can be the colorful diamond like designed screening in the back. There is definitely overlapping when it comes to this picture. You can see how the people overlap some of the other people and you can also see how the people overlap the table.You can see the depth of the picture from the table in the middle. The picture was painted at eye level. In my drawing a drew a storage room that I have in my house. This was drawn from eye level. In the storage room is a small table on the left hand side, a longer bench like table in the middle, and a small toy chest on the right hand side. In the back is the wall that houses one big window.
Andrew: Good observations of the painting, however your blog post is short of the 250 words. Also, in your own drawing, are you sure they are at eye-level? If we can see the "tops" of the shape, they are below eye level. Also, please post by the deadline, this feels rushed.
