Adult Workshop: Perspective 101 with Instructor Don Presnell October 4, 10am – 3pm

Perspective 101

Instructor:  Don Presnell

October 4  Monday  10am – 3pm

(Please bring your own “working lunch”)

Participants will learn how to use perspective properly in their artwork, giving their pieces a masterful look. The 5-hour course will cover eye level, 1-, 2-, and 3-point perspective layouts, as well as proper use and angles of ellipses in art. One of the first things noticeable in a weak drawing or painting is improper perspective and poor axis angles in circles and ellipses. This is because it just doesn’t look natural. Proper perspective will shape it right up!

Participants will use a straight edge, compass, square, circle template and ellipse template on a large drawing pad to create several sketches and drawings with their new-found knowledge. The course will also cover supporting elements of drawing, such as composition, setting the light source and the addition of shadow in the work. Participant’s drawings may be used later as underlays, line drawings for future work, or to color directly with pastels or colored pencils. If you like, bring a vacation photo with some architecture in it, and we can break down the perspective!

Please bring your own Perspective 101 class supplies – instructor will provide additional items.
