Adults
Our 6 week Summer Semester for adults starts on Monday, July 7 .
There's a class here for you, no matter what your experience. Some of
our students can't remember the last time they explored their "artistic
side". Others are quite far along in their artistic ventures.
We go out of our way to make you feel comfortable in developing that part
of you that wants to be creative.
Adult classes are for students aged 17+.

You spent hours on your drawing, it is beautiful - but something
is off. If you feel this way about many of your drawings, this
course is for you. Perspective is a technique used in visual art
to create the illusion of three-dimensional space on a two-
dimensional surface. This intensive will focus on all aspects of
drawing in perspective: recognizing horizon lines; vanishing
points; convergence lines depicting depth and distance and one,
two, three, and multiple-point perspective.
