Improve the impact of your work by developing an understanding of the most powerful drawing technique. Perspective is one of the first subjects that should be studied by anyone interested in creating art.  A knowledge of perspective is essential for anyone who wishes to create convincing images of form, depth, and space.  Taught by Megan Kounnas, this course is designed to provide students with a working knowledge of the fundamental theories of 1, 2 and 3 point linear perspective and the role they play in the development of drawings. The focus is on understanding how these conventions work as an integral part of the drawing process and how to apply them to specific applications. Throughout the course, the class will progress from setting up simple drawings to more complex perspective compositions. Beginner and intermediate artists welcome!
