Course Description

Drawing of three dimensional objects using perspective as a tool. Emphasis on fundamentals and different procedures used. Emphasizes methods which are directly related to the artist's needs including short cuts. Recommended for art majors and certificate programs. Transfer Credit: CSU; UC.

Course Level Student Learning Outcome(s)

1. Explain and discuss the theory of perspective using single-point, two-point, and three-point.
2. Create a drawing utilizing techniques such as top view and elevations of objects as well as measuring points and casting of shadows.
3. Create a drawing which demonstrates skill development in utilizing a quality of line, value, (dark and light) and sense of proportion in representing accurately three-dimensional forms.
