Need an research paper on principle and philosophy of design. Needs to be 6 pages. Please no plagiarism. While there is room for speculation, the entire field is considered relatively straight-forward. However, what does it mean when we enter into more subjective fields such as art or architecture? Some people will provide a relatively succinct definition of art that tends to dwell on the academic approach taken in its creation. During the Renaissance, the emphasis was on realistic portrayal: “a new basis to pictorial composition was given through the invention of linear perspective … Depth was suggested by depicting the progressive decrease in the size of objects and figures as their distance from the observer increases – an illusion which in painting becomes truth.”1 Others, such as A.K.
