Linear Perspective 1

Study for the Adoration of the Magi, by Leonardo da Vinci

This class addresses theoretical and applied perspective in order to build spatial environments within artworks. Artificial perspective is applied in one-point, two-point and three-point modes. Observational tactics of sighting are applied to on-site perspective problems, including shadows and reflections. Additionally, historical theories on perspective are addressed with a particular focus on methods of representation and visual phenomena. Students are encouraged to examine issues and methods of perspective in the context of their own pictorial concerns.
