Class Experience

In this 5 lesson course we will learn how to draw using 1 and 2 point perspective! I will be demonstrating the projects and techniques in a series of step-by-step videos & slideshows.

Lesson 1: 
What is Perspective? This lesson we will go over what perspective is and how artists use it to create realistic drawings.  In this assignment we will draw cubes using one point perspective. The final project this lesson will be writing your name in one point perspective!

Lesson 2: 
This lesson you will focus on using our knowledge of one point perspective.  I will demonstrate a project where we will draw a cityscape using one point perspective.  

Lesson 3: 
This lesson we will draw our Dream Bedroom! We will continue to use one point perspective to create our drawing.

Lesson 4: 
This lesson we move onto 2 point perspective! We will start by drawing cubes again, but in two point perspective.   I will introduce how to draw other 3D shapes as well.

Lesson 5: In the final week we will draw our Dream Home! This week we will use two point perspective to complete our drawing.

I have taught public  high school art for 18 years and 5 years online!  I have taught a variety of courses over my career such as: Fine Arts 1 & 2, Introduction to Photography, Pottery 1 & 2, Introduction to Jewelry, Introduction to Crafts, Introduction to Sculpture, Design 1 & 2.

I believe creating art is a process. It takes making a mess, mistakes and trying again!  Creating art is a method of communication with the world!

When I'm not creating art, I love cooking, reading, spending time with friends & family!
