Drawing Buildings and Architecture: A Practice in Perspective
Class Description:
Dive into the fascinating world of architectural drawing with our comprehensive class on perspective techniques. Understanding perspective is crucial for creating realistic and dynamic representations of buildings and structures. In this session, you'll explore the fundamentals of one-point perspective before advancing to more complex architectural elements.
Through a combination of theory and practical exercises, you'll learn how to depict various materials such as brick, wood, siding, shingles, and stone with accurate texture and detail. Additionally, you'll master the intricacies of drawing architectural features like windows, doors, stairs, fences, and railings.
By the end of the class, you'll be able to construct detailed and believable architectural drawings, whether you're aiming for realistic portrayals or imaginative fantasy structures.

There was a LOT of good info, but, I feel too much time was spent on the details of brick, siding, roofing, windows, etc . I felt the structure as a whole should have been presented first and the details (windows, type of siding, type of roofing, etc) should have been last. Just my opinion.

This was an outstanding class. I really enjoyed it. One point perspective is my favourite for cityscapes, but I have never considered how to recreate the exteriors of those buildings! I have great notes to remind myself later when it gets fuzzy, but thank you so much!!
Shelby has demystified the mystery of drawing buildings that actually look like buildings. I finally understand 1-pt perspective. The time spent on outside building details (siding, shingles, wood, windows, etc.) was well worth it. Adding details makes the structure come alive. Thanks,Shelby!
