The Five Questions Art Historians ask
how Old, what style, what subject, who made, who paid
What is the problem with context? Why can it never be fully reconstructed?
Cannot figure out how it fits in exactly. We do not have references. We can make guesses, but we won’t know for sure.
Perspective
A method of presenting an illusion of the three-dimensional world on a two-dimensional surface. In linear perspective ( the most common type) all parallel lines of surface edges converge on one, two or three vanishing points located with reference to the eye level of the viewer and associated objects are rendered smaller the father from the viewer they are intended to seem.
proportions
The relationship in size of the parts of persons, buildings, or objects, often based on a module.
iconography
the branch of art history which studies the identification, description, and the interpretation of the content of images.
patronage
refers to the support that kings or popes have provided to musicians, painters, and sculptors.
connoisseurship
a person who has a great deal of knowledge about the fine arts

4) Purpose/ Esteem- significant activity, status, responsibility, achievement
5) Human Potential/ Self-Actualization- personal growth, fulfillment & potential, art
