Linear Perspective Syllabus John Jacobsmeyer | ||||
Linear Perspective John Jacobsmeyer This course offers students a foundation in theoretical and applied perspective. Principles of artificial perspective are presented in terms of their relationship to the perception of space. These principles are applied in both mechanical and free-hand approaches. Relevant works of art are analyzed and students are given the opportunity to relate issues of perspective and methodologies to their own pictorial concerns. Course Schedule 1.
