This Intro to Dynamic Sketching Workshop is an intensive beginner level workshop which will familiarize students with the basics of perspective and forms. It will cover beginner level one- and two-point perspective concepts, the five forms and how to combine and manipulate those forms, the basic three tone block-in, and finally intuitive perspective.
If students demonstrate a strong understanding of the concepts provided, the following may also be covered in this workshop:
- Intro to beginner level three-point perspective
- Basic mechanical forms
- Basic organic forms
The concepts above will not be discussed if students are not ready for them. Students who already have a working knowledge of the basics will be given additional instruction to advance their skills to next level concepts.
Notes: Students are expected to draw often outside of workshop hours and after the completion of the workshop to build strong confidence in the concepts learned.
