Welcome to Perspective!

Hi Everyone,

The above links will be your go-to resources for the class. We will be using Bluescape as our virtual whiteboard for uploading homework and critique. You should have received an invitation to it, if not please contact me.

Every carpenter needs a good hammer and saw and it’s no different with artists. In order to create the most beneficial and productive learning environment, you will need to equip yourselves with the proper tools. It’s true that the brush does not make the painter, but the idea is to eliminate as many obstacles as possible so you can focus on learning perspective concepts and not learning how to use insufficient tools. I have compiled a list of required materials that are to be purchased and obtained in a timely fashion. These tools are not optional and if not obtained, will affect your grade and more importantly will affect the quality of your work. All of these items can be purchased in the student store which now has limited in-store hours but also offers lobby pickup at the 1111 building and shipping within 4 - 8 business days. To make arrangements for purchasing these items, email heather.basile@artcenter.edu
