This document discusses how numbers and compositional structure were used in Renaissance and Baroque period paintings. It explains that during these periods, artists carefully arranged visual elements based on principles of design to create unity and guide the viewer's gaze. The document also provides sketches that simplify and interpret compositional techniques of each period, with Renaissance works featuring simple geometry, bright colors and harmonious shapes, while Baroque works emphasized strong movement, contrast and dynamism. Overall, the document teaches how numbers were an integral part of compositional structure during these eras.

- 2. Composition in Art • „Numbers in the compositional structure” is a lesson dedicated to highschool children and it reveals some notions about the way the painters between 14 and 18 century created their work of arts. • Any work of art has its own structure, it represents a composition. • In the visual arts, composition is the placement or arrangement of visual elements or ingredients in a work of art, as distinct from the subject. It can also be thought of as the organization of the elements of art according to the principles of art. The artist determines what the center of interest (focus in photography) of the art work will be, and composes the elements accordingly. The gaze of the viewer will then tend to linger over these points of interest, elements are arranged with consideration of several factors (known variously as the principles of organization, principles of art, or principles of design) into a harmonious whole which works together to produce the desired statement – a phenomenon commonly referred to as unity. Such factors in composition should not be confused with the elements of art (or elements of design) themselves.
- 3. Renaissance and Baroque’s paintings in composition • The sketches that we are making will simplify and interpret two kind of compositions, one from the Renaissance period, that captures a simple geometry based on the musical rhythms, with bright colors, pyramidal structure, harmonious shapes and one from Baroque period, that brings strong movement, agglomeration, dynamism and chiaroscuro contrast. We will keep the lines drawn on the copies of the works of art to understand and to be able to highlight the specifics of every artistic period.

- 7. Numbers in the compositional structure • This lesson teaches us the specifics of Renaissance and Baroque’s paintings in composition, by creating a comparison between the two periods. It is easier because of the antithesis of styles. • Also, the pupils get familiar with artistic terms such as: Canvas, Renaissance, Baroque, work of art, composition, palette, equilibrium, rhythm, Sfumato, value, hue, chiaroscuro, color harmony. • It is interesting that this lesson reveals a little-known fact that art is also mathematics, that can be created with mathematical formulas, that can be “measured”, that has a specific rhythm that can be counted and so on …
