At the heart of every great artist is a strong foundation of skills allowing them to take their ideas and turn the imaginary into reality. Join us this summer for a two-week class focusing on the fundamentals of drawing infrastructures. Whether it be exteriors of skyscrapers or interiors of cozy cottages, students learn the basics of perspective, scale, and an understanding of rough ideas to clean presentation.

This class will have an emphasis on referential and life drawing. We will look at one-point and two-point perspective, isometric perspective, measurement, and other fundamentals. This class is recommended for students wishing to develop their realistic drawing skills or begin their portfolio pieces.
