How to Draw Historical Places Around the World
How to draw realistically using a variety of different perspectives
CLASS DESCRIPTION
This ongoing drawing class is designed to help understand the concepts of using one-point and two-point perspective to create a sense of depth and realistic space while focusing on famous places and historical architecture.
This class is designed for those who already have drawing experience and would like to expand their skills by experimenting with using vanishing points to create a sense of depth and space.
Topics like one-point and two-point perspectives will be covered frequently in this class. We will also specialize in using different shading techniques to create realistic texture, ranging from pointillism, hatching, smudging, and cross-hatching.
We will begin with a chance for students to share their good news. Next, we will briefly discuss the historical place or famous landmark we will be focusing on for that current day, and focus shortly on its historical context before we begin to draw. Class will end with a brief show and tell, however, sharing works is optional and not necessarily required.

FAQs
-
If you did not purchase your class via an ESA account, then the class you are interested in receiving a refund on will be determined on an as-needed basis, as long as the following policies have not been violated:
-
Class will begin on time. If you have issues logging in, please notify me as soon as possible. If I have not been notified within the first ten minutes, then class will be canceled for that week, and no refund will be issued.
Depending on the particular situation, the class itself may be eligible for a refund. However, no-shows or last-minute cancellations will deem the session ineligible for any refunds.
-
In any normal situation students are not allotted a refund for last minute cancellations or for class cancelations that occur due to late arrival or no-shows. In addition, any cancellations that occur a week before the class takes place are eligible for a refund but any made after that will need to be taken under consideration, depending on the current situation.
Emergencies happen, and to account for that, each student is allotted at least one emergency cancellation per semester where they are given the opportunity for a refund.
