This class is a must for all art students. The intention of this class is to not only give you a little bit of “how to” but also a little of “why” and “when to”. For most artists learning the mechanics of perspective is a huge step on the road to becoming a professional. Using basic forms students will learn to construct and place objects to create the illusion of 3-dimensional space on a 2-dimensional picture plane. We will explore one, two and some three point perspective. Great preparation for conceptual design, story boarding and graphic storytelling.
