Perspective Fundamentals
Objects appear smaller as they recede. This module covers one-point and two-point perspective, helping you depict believable spaces and forms.
- Horizon Lines
- Vanishing Points
- Foreshortening
- Spatial Relationships
Proportional Drawing
Getting proportions right makes drawings feel believable. You’ll learn measurement techniques and practice recognizing relationships between different parts of your subject.

How We Track Your Progress
Assessment is about understanding your current position and future direction, not grades. We use multiple methods to help you see your growth and target areas for focused practice.
Portfolio Reviews
Every four weeks, we review your latest work together. These conversations reveal patterns in your development and highlight breakthroughs you may have missed.
Practical Skill Tests
Short, focused drills to demonstrate specific techniques. Think of them as friendly challenges—can you achieve smooth gradations? Draw a cube in perspective? These help us gauge your technical progress.
Peer Feedback Sessions
Sometimes fellow students notice details instructors overlook. These structured group discussions teach you to critique artwork constructively while gaining fresh perspectives on your own work.
Self-Reflection Projects
You’ll document your artistic journey through written reflections and comparative studies. This metacognitive approach helps you become aware of your own learning process and artistic decisions.
