What will be an ideal response?
Answer: The ideal answer should include:
1. In The School of Athens, Raphael uses linear perspective to produce an architectural setting and a group of figures that appear to recede naturally into space.
2. Raphael emphasizes the important figures of Aristotle and Plato by placing them a central position and in an area with the greatest spatial depth.
3. In Kindred Spirits, Durand implies spatial depth through the use of atmospheric perspective.
4. Durand highlights the details of trees and rocks in the foreground and obscures the distant landscape to emphasize the vastness of the American wilderness.
