Intermediate Program Syllabus

Composition

Understanding the “rules” of composition will help us greatly with constructing an effective and visually pleasing drawing.

Shadows

Adding technically correct shadows to your drawing gives it immediate credibility & life.

Reflections

Whether the reflection is from a mirror, metal, ice or water, knowing how to draw the reflection will save you countless hours of frustration.

Spiral Staircase

This is a great portfolio piece. A precisely drawn spiral staircase immediately shows your artistic abilities to a prospective employer or art school.

Drawing From A Plan

By using a floor type plan & a side view, we can draw a place or object accurately in three-dimensional perspective. These “technical drawings” serve many purposes for architects, interior designers, engineers and planners.

Structural Drawing

Every object in your drawing has structure, and understanding that structure in perspective will greatly enhance your ability to draw the object quickly, accurately & confidently.

Architectural Interior

We will draw a 2-point perspective room interior that you choose, real or fantasy. We’ll learn how to arrange & design your room to sell it visually for the viewer. A terrific showcase drawing for Interior Designers & Architects.

Actual Architectural Interior

We’ll draw an actual grand architectural interior ( very accessible in Toronto ). This is a great highlight in a portfolio.

Actual Architectural Exterior

We’ll draw an actual exciting exterior landscape ( drawn from the comfort of indoors ). A great portfolio piece, especially for Architects.

Through simple perspective principles, we’ll draw structurally “complex” objects easily. We’ll understand how the viewer of your drawing plays an important role in how you will execute your composition. We’ll see how our “cone of vision” effects our drawing. You will learn to apply “line quality” and all the rest of the essential skills artists should know, to draw accurately and convincingly!
