Introduction3:01
Master perspective in drawing and painting using overlapping, diminishing size, and atmospheric perspective to create depth. Explore linear, one-, two-, and three-point perspective, foreshortening, and anamorphic illusion through hands-on practice.
Perspective 25:07
Explore the four systems for depth on a flat picture—overlapping contours, size interpretation, aerial (atmospheric) perspective, and linear perspective.
Perspective 34:24
Perspective 46:25
Explore creating depth through overlapping and diminishing size across rectangles, circles, and rectangular prisms, with front elements larger and back elements smaller in perspective.
Perspective 53:42
Explore the cone of vision and binocular depth cues, revealing how a 60 degree angle, vanishing points, and retinal image shape depth in linear perspective.
Perspective 68:00
Explore atmospheric or aerial perspective as a depth tool, showing distant objects paler, less saturated, and blurrier, with color shifts toward blue and reduced contrast.
Perspective 74:18
Perspective 811:07
Trace the invention and rediscovery of linear perspective, from flat frescoes to one point and two point systems with horizon lines and vanishing points.
Perspective 98:14
Perspective 107:52
Explore two-point perspective by constructing a leading edge, horizon line, and left and right vanishing points to render rectangular prisms, trapezoids, and rhomboids.
Perspective 1111:42
Master perspective by drawing a Renaissance building, using horizon line, vanishing points, and space division from rectangles to trapezoids, then render arches, masonry, and decorative details with proper proportion.
Perspective 125:02
Perspective 139:39
Explore foreshortening and perspective in the figure, using one-point and two-point perspective, horizon lines, and vanishing points to render depth, proportional changes, and foreshortened forms.
Perspective 146:13
Explore atmospheric and two-point perspective through masterworks and practical drawing exercises, applying orthogonality, horizon lines, and color to render cars, buildings, and stairs from multiple viewpoints.

I teach lecture courses and studios as I wish they would have been taught to me. Much of the graphic material in my lectures is taken or generated first hand directly by me on site. I teach to learn. I teach subjects as I wish they were taught to me. The Mission Statement. Education is a tool for the improvement of successive generations. I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand. Confucius

This course is designed under the premise that humans should be taught in a way that is modeled after the educational patterns of evolution.

The design, development and application of educational systems based on the educational principles of evolution generates a philosophy and methodology of education in synchrony with the evolutionary education system that is firmly and deeply rooted in each of us.

Education for evolution is an educational system designed to help propel humans forward in the natural course of evolution. The purpose of education for evolution is to enhance and strengthen the natural evolutionary process of humans through the mechanism of education. The means to achieve this objective is the design of a curricula based on the same educational techniques and strategies used by natural evolution, enhanced and guided by the application of conscious educational decisions.
