The conflict that manipulates teaching manual linear perspective

الملخص EN

Linear perspective is a knowledge that had spread through the European world of art and design since the 15th century up to the last decades of the 20th century.

It was concerned directly with the growth of scientific mind on that fertile soil of art and design’s mind of that time.

Linear perspective had enabled artist and designers to practice depth and represent the third dimension on their landscape painting, design and architectural presentation.

Despite perspective had spent a long time span to occur, but another long time span had followed its appearance, particularly in the educational environment that followed its experimental attitude.

For perspective had lived within the limitation of the experimental world, without earning its theoretical side that covers its scientific situation.

This scientific living problem of linear perspective can be concluded in whether could it be treated within the limits of its geometric roots that the artists and designers of the Italian Renaissance had achieved, or put it as its phenomenological existence states that it have to be a visual phenomenon.

So, due to that, the living situation of linear perspective is living a conflict that needs to yield to investigation that combines its historical analytical research with the research field of ophthalmology and optics along with the research of linear drawing and architectural presentation so as to complete its scientific form theoretically and practically.
