2D Looking Like 3D: Drawing and its Systems of Depth and Perspective

Saturday, January 31 11am-3pm

Presented by Mercedes Teixido

Many drawing traditions use the illusion of depth as a creative or a diagrammatic tool. This workshop will introduce a few distinct approaches, each with their unique history. Think about overlapping forms, quilts with patterns of illusion and paintings that use linear perspective to mimic the way that our vision experiences space. This fast pace class will use a variety of materials and techniques to encourage experimentation with the aim of enriching the artists toolbox towards the invention of one’s own technique.

Materials list to bring with you or purchase:

Drawing paper and boards will be provided for use.

$40
