Artists use linear perspective to create the illusion of three dimensions. This class will cover a brief history of linear perspective and how to use the principles of linear perspective to construct shapes that look three dimensional. After introductions, I will introduce the concept and a brief history of linear perspective in art. We will then draw together, constructing an exterior view of a castle using 2-point perspective. Students will be encouraged to personalized their drawing by adding details, shading, landscaping, etc. Some of the detailing may need to take place after class. Students will be encouraged to ask questions, share their artwork if they wish, and make comments. No experience necessary, although basic knowledge of drawing with linear perspective is helpful.

Hi! My name is Vicki Lunell. As an experienced art teacher and maker I believe that everyone can learn the foundations of creating visual art and improve their skills so that they gain confidence and grow in their art-making abilities. I love working with learners of all ages and using many media.
I am excited about developing Outschool lessons in drawing, color theory, colored pencil technique, watercolor technique, linear perspective, visual journaling, contour drawing, glue batik, bookmaking and composition, as well as any fun requests.
I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Art and a Master of Arts in Art Education. I have a Texas teaching certificate and through May, 2020 was a public high school art teacher teaching introductory art, drawing, and art appreciation. My previous formal art education experience includes 4th & 5th grade fine arts in public school and 1st-6th grade art in private school. From 2020-2023 I served as the Curator of Education for the Museum of East Texas, where I taught children and adults. I also teach online Art Appreciation for our local community college.
I have enjoyed various informal teaching situations in art and outdoor education, including teaching art and science projects at summer nature camp and after school nature programs and teaching art at the community recreation center. The experience that has most formed my philosophy of education is my wonderful, rich adventure of homeschooling with my younger son from 4th-12th grade. I am passionate about learning!
When I teach I provide instruction in skills, techniques, artistic process and project planning. I give lots of encouragement and helpful feedback, and provide inspiration from historical and contemporary artists so that learners can create works that they feel good about and can develop skills to build on. We talk about the creative process and practice growth mindset thinking. I emphasize process over product and work to build a supportive classroom environment where students can be comfortable taking risks and experimenting with their art.
I live in a small town in the beautiful piney woods of East Texas. I have two adult sons and three young grandchildren who are the greatest joy of my life. I am happiest when I am making things and when I am outdoors gardening, kayaking, hiking or just being in nature.
I’m excited to be making art with you!Reviews
