Have difficulty with perspective in your work?

This course will be a tremendous help!

Artists use perspective to create convincing representations of our 3-dimensional world on to the 2-dimensional surface of their paper or canvas. When perspective is used effectively and accurately, objects appear to recede.

In this course, you will study linear perspective, namely one-point perspective and two-point perspective. This can then be applied to all of your artwork to help create a more realistic sense of depth. It can be used in landscapes, cityscapes, still life setups, and even drawings of people. Bring a ruler!

MATERIALS TO BRING:

Students will provide their own materials. A supply list will be sent out prior to the workshop. For everyones safety, we will follow CDC guidelines. Proper spacing, masks and vaccine are required.
