Describe what you learned from your research and how it is significant to you. What I’ve learned from Leonardo’s “The work of Leonardo da Vinci on perspective, light, shadows, and color in painting” is that it is important how the sun cast shadows if you are going to paint with color and light. Some artist knew that illusion of relief was created by adding internal shadows to the traced silhouette and shadows has become a pictorial convention in painting. The artist in the past would just trace a silhouette and think that it made since in the painting however did not know the real character of the shadow and its position on the canvas. Leonardo was a new artist in the works of art asks a question that will be very important to the art community.
