Johann Gottfried Schadow made a study of foreshortening and perspectiv e for drawing the head in his book Lehre v on den Knochen und Muskeln v on den Verhaeltnissen des Menschlichen Koerpers und v on den Verkuerzungen, which had been translated as T he Art Student's Guide to the Bones and Muscles of the Hum an Body and Lessons on Foreshortening in it he shows the position of the features located by a series of parallel lines, in much the same way an architect would draft rotated v iews of a building or an engineer would draft rotated v iews of a machine or structure. This enables the artist to deriv e a scientific approach to foreshortening using standard v iews of the head and proportions of the features.

This picture can be found under ev ery discussion of perspectiv e. What Albrecht Durer is demonstrating in this print is the use of a transparent grid in front of a subject, and a gridded piece of paper, so the artist can accurately transfer what he sees on a point by point basis to the paper. This way his preconceptions about the length of limbs and placement of features do not interfere with his accurate representation of the foreshortened figure. To the right is another of Durer's illustrations show figures array ed on a grid, another way to study the effects of perspectiv e on the foreshortening of the figure. The image is from his De Sym m etria Partium in Rectis Form is Hum anorum Corporum .

This picture can be found under ev ery discussion of perspectiv e. What Albrecht Durer is demonstrating in this print is the use of a transparent grid in front of a subject, and a gridded piece of paper, so the artist can accurately transfer what he sees on a point by point basis to the paper. This way his preconceptions about the length of limbs and placement of features do not interfere with his accurate representation of the foreshortened figure. To the right is another of Durer's illustrations show figures array ed on a grid, another way to study the effects of perspectiv e on the foreshortening of the figure. The image is from his De Sym m etria Partium in Rectis Form is Hum anorum Corporum .
