By using linear perspective, with its horizon lines and vanishing points, we are able to achieve the illusion of depth and distance in our artwork, whether it’s in a landscape, a street scene, a room’s interior, or a still life.

We will briefly look at how artists approached the challenge of creating a convincing sense of perspective throughout art history. With this historical context, we will learn the classical rules of perspective that were codified in the Renaissance and that are the foundation of linear perspective artists still use today.

We will first study atmospheric perspective (which uses rules of perception) by drawing a scene in nature. Then we will cover one-point, two-point and three point perspective. We will also look at drawing ellipses (which are circles drawn in perspective) and learn how to depict shadows in a scene to enhance perspective.

We will start with basic exercises of drawing boxes and circles in space and then we will move on to drawing street scenes, interiors and a still life or two.
