3) Is Seeing Believing?
In “Perspective as Symbolic Form,” Irwin Panofsky describes how the mechanics of one-point perspective create a window on the world of the painting.Usingeach of the five termshe deploys to explain perspective (vanishing point, horizon line,orthogonals,transversals, screen), describe Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper (1495-6) in terms that explain the visual mechanics of the image, as well as what Panofsky means by a “symbolic form” or way of looking at the world. What does he mean when he describes perspective as a form of abstraction, as not being really ‘real’?

Format: 5 pages, double spaced, 12 point type, citations in end note form (these do not count toward length and must be in MLA or UChicago form). Images should also be attached at the end (these also o not count toward length).
Using sources that your TA has approved at the Proposal stage, build on and develop the perspective on the object at hand using your research. Try to stay close to the thesis statement (double check every paragraph to be sure it is consistent with the thesis statement objective). Try reading just the topic sentences of the paragraphs (the first sentence should set up the subject matter of each paragraph). Be sure these give you a schematic overview of the paper.
