Through in-class lectures, exercises and projects (both with rulers and free hand drawing), this course will examine the principles of one-point, two-point, and three-point perspective along with the most common perspective problems encountered by artists - focusing on practical solutions and applications that perspective drawing can provide.
This class is geared toward assisting artists with illustration and general representational drawing and painting. But also, because of its broad application, this class will inform practices such as interior design, game concept and design, digital painting, animation in general, storyboarding, 2D architectural rendering or general 2D concept and design.
Students will learn about the eye line, vantage point and how to control it. 1 point, 2 point, and 3 point perspective, multi-point perspective and how to scale characters and objects. Projects will include drawing the same object in multiple perspective systems, one-point rooms, two-point rooms and an outdoor scene.
Spring 2021: 8 Weeks: Tuition: $355
