Perspective Drawing (DRWM-0063)

Fall 2026 · DRWM 0063 · Tufts University · 4 credits · Undergraduate

This comprehensive course in basic perspective drawing is open to all levels and is devoted to drawing from observation. Still lives in the studio and some field trips to outside locations will provide our subject matter and sources of inspiration. Through various methods for creating the illusion of realism we will utilize the elements of line, shape, texture, value, composition and the techniques of western perspective design to convincingly portray 3D volume and space on a 2D surface. Towards the end of the course these tools will be used to design and create your own ideas and structures; drawings, houses, monuments, memorials, autos, objects and sculptures, etc. of your choosing. Our exploration and work will provide insight into what has given this discipline its time honored visual appeal and help us to create new and unique perspective drawings and designs. Materials include charcoal, graphite, erasers, rulers, sumi ink and paper. This course is open to all LA + EN undergraduate students.
