Perfecting Perspective

Do you shy away from the complicated plants? Even experienced illustrators sometimes struggle with foreshortening and simplify their subjects to eliminate the difficult elements. Learn to see the correct shape of an ellipse and find the angle of the element pointing to you, to create the illusion of 3-D depth on a 2-D surface. You'll work with botanical subjects that demonstrate each aspect of perspective and learn techniques for seeing
and depicting perspective accurately. Complete a final piece that shows your new understanding of perspective principles. The class will work entirely in graphite pencil, as the principles apply to all art media. Gain confidence in your drafting skills and improve all of your drawings from this class forward. Fee: $185 member, $223 non-member. Prerequisite: Pencil I
