A fun little video about drawing - thanks Katharine! Of course we start with the Renaissance - but in Las Vegas, where fantasy and reality come together. Drawing is how we get from something we imagine to something we build.
British TV is awesome.
I love the idea in this video (jump to about 18:30) that because paper became plentiful in 15th century Tuscany, Leonardo's imagination is one of the first to have been consistently captured because he took the time to sketch out all his ideas
We also pickup the story of Brunelleschi (jump to 22:00), whose contribution of perspective drawing is was famously presented in a public demonstration in front the Duomo in Florence; and also of Palladio (jump to 25:30), whose drawings and books helped spread Renaissance classicism around the world.
