Workshop Overview (4 Sessions):

Frankly, not many of us are excited about perspective drawing. However, truth be told, without an intuitive understanding of this sometimes confusing study we can be lost in our representational work. The reality is we were born into a perspective world. We clearly see and understand it intuitively. However, we may not be able to see it in a definable way. Come join Mark Anthony as he unravels big mysteries about our perspective world in simple, understandable terms. It is bound to change the way you see everything.

Session 1 - A definable orientation tour of our visual world in the context of linear perspective and birds-eye-view.

Session 2 - Measuring spatial recession in 1 and 2 point perspective and plotting complex shapes on a perspective grid.

Session 3 - Drawing the perfect cube and other geometric shapes.

Session 4 - Drawing complex 3 dimensional objects. Measuring relationships between vertical and horizontal depth using plan view.

I am amazed to have been given so very much in 4 lessons on a subject that is so involved. I’m thankful and feel privileged to have been able to take this course through Zoom as I live in central BC and would not have been able to otherwise. Thank You to Mark and Thank You FCA for the opportunity."
