LINEAR PERSPECTIVE

For those of you who might need a refresher while working on your drawings, try THIS. It's a pretty good explanation in a pinch. And try some youtube videos, there are a couple that are fun to watch as the drawings develop, just search for "linear perspective". And actually, this site is pretty good as well.

Enjoy.

Wanted to add to this that Professor Debra Clem has a powerpoint on her class blog about perspective.  If you click HERE and then on the left side of the page click on Perspective under PowerPoints (for class), you can go through all of the images and read the text.  It covers the stuff we discussed about the flatness of art before the Renaissance.

A New Semester: FALL 2009

Welcome to a new semester of drawing.  There are many postings on this blog that began last winter.  There are a number of examples of projects from previous F100 Basic Drawing Students through advanced level students.  Many of the out-of-class and in-class projects you'll be exploring this semester are showcased with examples, so you may want to review some of the past entries to see how other members of the drawing community interpreted and expressed themselves with those projects. If you want to see a larger version of any of the drawings, just click on them.  Also, when you get to the bottom of each page be sure to click on "older posts". There is a syllabus for the course located on our ONCOURSE site and I will have hard copies for you to review and discuss on Tuesday during our first class session.  Enjoy the blog, the drawings, and the discussions and I'll see you Tuesday, August 25.
