Form & Space Week Four: (Part B) Days 2-5 / The Art & Science of Drawing

In the Form & Space section of THE ART & SCIENCE OF DRAWING series, you’ll learn to do drawings that give the illusion of 3-Dimensional objects occupying deep space.

You’ll learn to combine and manipulate these forms to draw any form observable or imaginable.  You'll even get an introduction to linear perspective! Never again will your drawings appear flat and lifeless on the page.

This is the perfect course for painters who want to add depth to their work and the perfect primer for figure drawing. Learning how to think and draw in terms of volume is what makes the difference between good artists and great artists. 

This course contains days 2-5 of the fourth installments of an 8-part series.  If you're a beginner, we recommend going through the entire series in order.  If you've got some drawing experience, feel free to mix and match the Art & Science of Drawing courses to suit your personal needs as an artist!

What am I going to get from this course?

• Draw the foundational volumes, spheres, cylinders and cubes, in any orientation in space.
• Break any form down into basic volumes and in doing so, understand how to draw them 3-Dimensionally.
• Draw objects properly in perspective.
• Be able to produce drawings that give the illusion of 3-Dimensional objects occupying deep space.

What is the target audience?
