Description

Devote time to developing skills in observational drawing. Working directly from still-life arrangements, photographic references, models, and on-location, you will learn to record visual experience through representational drawing. Projects will focus on seeing and describing fully realized forms situated in space using lighting, composition, proportion, and relationships of form. Drawing exercises and assignments will vary in length from quick studies to more developed compositions, with the opportunity to explore more fully realized work by the end of this course. Techniques of representational drawing are applicable to a wide range of visual narrative forms, and this course is designed for anyone who wants to learn to draw from life, and build on their skills and confidence.

Description

Combine your visual concepts with technical precision through perspective drawing. This course advances knowledge of perspective systems to convey the illusion of dimensional forms. You will explore increasingly complex laws of linear and atmospheric perspective, including vantage point, 1-point, 2-point and 3-point perspective, scaling a character or object in space, and positioning or manipulating points of view. By the end of this course, you will learn techniques for rendering perspectively accurate objects and scenes, or manipulating space and form to create experimental compositions and designed worlds. This course is suited for students with some previous drawing experience, and those interested in developing visual storytelling through illustration, animation, visual effects, or spatial design.
