A New Twist on Perspective - All Media (Thursdays)

Join VASILI KATAKIS in this in-depth study of an essential topic for all artists.  This uniquely designed course has been created specifically for artists wanting to expand their knowledge of perspective, and is open to all media. We will learn how to apply perspective principles to your compositions, creating the feeling of depth and mood. Artists needs are unique and differ from those of architects and engineers who use traditional methods to learn perspective drawing. There will be no need for complex construction lines or mechanical devices. We will combine simple drawing techniques with basic design principles to create the illusion of depth. A sense of “correctness” will replace the need to be precise. While linear perspective is important, it’s only one component that contributes to the success of a good drawing or painting. Course topics will include: light & shade, areal and intuitive perspective, fixation points, Goldilocksʼ rule and more. Basic drawing skills will benefit the student. A perfect next step for beginners and intermediate drawing students ready to learn how to depict depth and space in their work. All media accepted.

Please sign up early; class size is limited to 12 students.
