    Actually , if you change the angle of the drawing, the vertical lines will also have a change in form. example. the drawing at the top of the paper, the sides of the container needs to be narrower as it goes up so you make a nice effect.

    I am a bit confused. While you were drawing the jar, holding it in an above eye level position, you said the height of the jar seems smaller, but for the painting, the artist used the above eye level perception to make Napoleon seem more dominant.

    Napolean was 5 ft 7, which was pretty average for the time and place, possibly on the taller end of average.

    • @PaulPriestleyart
      @PaulPriestleyart  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +MultiPwolf Possibly, he was recorded as being 5ft 2" at his autopsy which was conducted by a French physician, but under the control of the British. The argument is whether the French physician used British or French measurements to measure and then report in French. It doesn't matter in this respect, because the point about lowering eye level to make him look taller still applies, as happened in most portraits of the elite in past centuries.

    • @MultiPwolf
      @MultiPwolf 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Fair enough, I found myself concerned that perhaps your analyses may have been mistaken given his height. Seemed like the artist could himself have been shorter and given that he is standing back perhaps that was just his normal view of him.

  • @LeavesofWinter
    @LeavesofWinter 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Just to make sure
    To make things insignificant but taller, look down at it , in other words the eye level should be somehow low.
    but to make them important but shorter then look up to at and the eye level will be higher a little bit .
    Is that right?

    • @PaulPriestleyart
      @PaulPriestleyart  8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      +‫معاني فريدة‬‎ You are getting confused. When you sit down and someone stands infront of you, your eye level is low, the person seems very big compared to you. You feel insignificant and you are looking up at them. If you stand infront of someone siting, your eye level is high, the person seems small to you. You feel powerful because you are looking down on them. So if you are painting a picture of an important person like a king, president etc the artist wants to make him look important so the eye level is low making the viewer look up to him. If the artist wants to make something look insignificant the eyelevel is high so the viewer is looking down on the object. I hope that explains things. Cheers Paul

      @PaulPriestleyart  7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      You may well be right, I understand there is some dispute as to who actually measured his height on his death bed as French and British measurements vary. Propaganda also played its part as the British labelled him the 'little Corsican' so it may have been in their interests to measure him at 5'2" The French would obviously dispute that.

      Your is all about possession: your house, your opinion.
      You’re is a contraction...a combination of two different words....you and are.
