During this course students will be introduced to a brief study and analysis of the most celebrated artworks of hyperrealism and optical art<\/strong>, by showing them the mastery and expertise in these techniques of some famous painters. Afterwards each student will put into practice what he\/she has learnt by creating his\/her own trompe l\u2019oeil work.<\/p>\n

Consequently, the students’ task will be challenging: they will have to take into account the natural size of the objects, make use of the perspective theories<\/strong>, consider the position of the observer towards the fictitious space, as well as create a tridimensional effect<\/strong> through the use of lights and shades<\/strong>.<\/p>\n[\/spb_text_block] [spb_message color=”alert-info” width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”]\n

This conspicuous technique originates in the 15th century from the encounter of the Italian perspective<\/strong> with the Flemish realistic paintings<\/strong>. As the meaning of the French expression clearly tells (“trompe-l’oeil”), its explicit aim is to “deceive the eye” of the observer.<\/p>\n

The first unreal objects were actually painted on a wall and represented every-day-life things on a fictitious table or shelf. The trompe-l’oeil technique became more refined and elaborate later in the Baroque period<\/strong>, during which hunting trophies, perching birds, precious cabinets, game tables and several other sophisticated artistic objects were often painted for aristocratic families and rich merchants.<\/p>\n[\/spb_toggle] [sf_gallery gallery_id=”6336″ slider_transition=”slide” show_thumbs=”yes” autoplay=”yes” show_captions=”yes” enable_lightbox=”yes” width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”] [boxed_content type=”coloured” pb_margin_bottom=”no” width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”]\n
