Ever wondered how a three dimensional space can be drawn on a two dimensional piece of paper? Artists, Architects, Designers, and various other professions perform this type of representational drawing consistently.
This type of drawing ability is often considered to be a talent, born within a person, and unreachable by others. The truth is that there are clear and simple rules to drawing three dimensional spaces that can be taught quickly.
In this class, I will briefly outline what two dimensional drawing represents followed by an in-depth and interactive look at how one, two, and three point perspectives are constructed. While I go through each process step by step on a generic space or object, you will be able to sketch out a space of your own. Let your brain pour out your imagination in all its glory. No drawing experience? Not a problem, this class will start from the very basics and work right through to casually drawing perspectives.
Spatial intelligence is no different from language or science, it can be learned, and with a little practice, you will be able to visualize and draw any space or object.
