About this Event
• Drawing In Perspective Art Class •
PERSPECTIVE is the FOUNDATION of drawing and every artist should learn this essential knowledge & skill FIRST.
This Art Instructional Program is invaluable for anyone needing or interested in creating perspective accurate drawings in their own leisurely art, and in the Commerce Fields of: Advertising, Architecture, Interior Design, Animation, Cartooning, Gaming, Fine Art, Graphic Design, Illustration, Education, Industrial Design, Live Action, Theater, Landscape Architecture & Woodworking.
Beginner Program Syllabus:
• One and Two Point Perspective: Most drawings are structured on one or both of these two basic principles.
• Perspective Measurements: Simple measurements that determine size relationships between various elements in a drawing (including spaces), quickly & easily in perspective. No more guessing for hours.
• Ellipses: Ellipses (circles in perspective) are essential to know and understand for drawing, as they are everywhere. A portfolio or drawings representing your abilities, must have accurate ellipses.
• Inclined Planes & Auxiliary Vanishing Points: Most surfaces (planes) we draw are parallel or perpendicular to the ground. We use auxiliary vanishing points to draw the other more challenging surfaces.
• Three Point Perspective: Usually used to draw extreme up or down views. Very often applied in animation, cartooning, graphic novels, film, etc. for dramatic effect.
• Beginner Structural Drawing: Every object in your drawing has structure, and understanding that structure in perspective will greatly enhance your ability to draw the object quickly, accurately & confidently.
• Forms In Nature: Even trees, clouds and rocks have structure. Knowing the "perspective" of a tree will give you the ability to easily draw the tree from any angle (viewpoint) you choose.
• Intersecting Planes: We learn how to properly construct intersecting planes by drawing many different types of roof tops. Knowing how to correctly draw these intersecting surfaces is essential in drawing architecture but is also necessary in most everything else we draw.
• Architectural Interior: We analyze and draw a 1-point perspective room interior that you choose, real or fantasy. We learn how to arrange & design your room to sell it visually for the viewer. A terrific showcase drawing for Interior Designers & Architects.
• Architectural Exterior: We draw Victorian building exteriors using techniques + models. A great portfolio piece, especially for Architects.
Through simple perspective principles, we'll draw structurally "complex" objects easily. We'll understand how the viewer of your drawing plays an important role in how you will execute your composition. We'll see how our "cone of vision" effects our drawing. You will learn to apply "line quality" and all the rest of the essential skills artists should know, to draw accurately and convincingly!
