Methods of Perspective with Lindsay Mueller
Class | Available
This course centers observation as a tool of discovery and explores perspectival strategies for conveying varied experiences through drawing and painting. Grounded in the learning of traditional techniques of depicting perspective, this course considers the conceptual implications that various perspectives have on an artwork, both historically and in contemporary practice. Spatial awareness and observational research will serve as the building blocks upon which students will utilize pencil, conte, charcoal, ink, and watercolors/gouache to create artworks that consider personal position and communicate their perspective, technically and conceptually.
This course is for intermediate students who already possess introductory drawing experience and are familiar with the drawing materials. Some prior one- and two-point perspective experience is welcome although not required. We will learn the technical aspects of perspective and apply it to creating drawings of interior and exterior spaces.
