We've been discussing perspective in class and here are a few websites that discuss this topic (hat tip to Professor Jones):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perspective_(graphical)
http://studiochalkboard.evansville.edu/lp-intro.html
Also, I've added a PowerPoint about perspective that can be downloaded from this blog. Take a look at the PowerPoint "heading" on the left side of this page. I will continue adding materials that you can review as we continue in class this semester.
See you tomorrow morning.

Hey everyone! I missed class today, big bummer! I am so worried I missed out on a lot. Can someone just outline what we went over, then what we drew. Maybe I will not worry as much if I practice what we went over. I went through the composition slide show....so maybe that will help too! Well thank you and hope to see you all on Wednesday!

ReplyDeleteTrust your eyes and not your brain when drawing perspective. Here are some tricks (maybe tips or techniques is more accurate) I use when the going gets tough. Stick your pencil or brush out in front of you and trace the edges of the object. Get a feel for those angles and let muscle memory help you transfer those same angles to paper or canvas. I try to look at the still life or reference at least three times as long as the paper or canvas. I also try not to take my eyes off the still life unless I lose my place on the paper. Sit up straight and keep that whole arm drawing not just the wrist.
