In this 8 week drawing course, students will learn what an optical illusion is and how the eyes can play tricks on the brain. They will also create their own optical art project using rulers, markers, charcoal pencils and basic shapes. We will also discuss perspective drawing and shades, tints and values. This is an introductory class which will expose children to drawing from direct observation with an emphasis on space, volume, linear and free hand perspective, and other basic techniques and concepts. We will discuss One-Point, Two-Point and Three-Point Linear Perspective. Session will commence in an artist showcase.
