This course will take you from the basic principles of one-, two- and three-point perspective through placing figures in proper relationship within your picture, inclined planes, placing a specific number of windows in specific places on skyscrapers, spiral staircases, reflections in mirrors and wet pavement, to so-called "aerial perspective" (using value and color relationships to create the sense of form in space), and more. If you are in animation or cartooning, understanding these principles is a necessity. If you are in the fine arts or illustration, it will save you several years of compromising your visuals because you couldn't grasp how to make a figure look like it's "over here next to these buildings" while making others look like they're "over there in front of those mountains." Assignments are designed to prove the practical applications of the basic principles of perspective.
