Day 3 with Kurt Wenner was again, amazing! The instruction started with drawing again simple shapes (circles, squares) then shading them with specific light source. </div>

<h3>
<b>Kurt Wenner and Gary Millard that's who. </b> <span style="font-weight: normal;">The beginning of an incredible 6 days of instruction, with a world renowned artist, was the high lite of my year!! </span></h3>
I will attach photos from the first part of the instruction - Perspective and Illusion. Kurt is amazing...<br />
<br />
I was taught just how to perceive perspective as in the organization of form and space from one unique view point. Meaning how the view would be, as if standing at a height of 5' 8" and a distance of say 30 foot away. Now distort the drawing to have the perspective from only that exact view point. When the drawing is viewed from any other viewpoint it will looks distorted. This concept seems easy enough.... not so !<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The first day of instruction was technical but interesting, drawing shapes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXn4M9A25NTiA3DRLuD3RwQm093bEfv5TBTyJAupmCk1itk2XnkZttGLqRgdDfzgjIdwiivYVl6M4oFpgFgn_gmvW0Bd75E-7tQECiOYn7AjysFS_SPYLGLINznOC_MHzX2YWbleLtHqQ/s1600/20151205_145356.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXn4M9A25NTiA3DRLuD3RwQm093bEfv5TBTyJAupmCk1itk2XnkZttGLqRgdDfzgjIdwiivYVl6M4oFpgFgn_gmvW0Bd75E-7tQECiOYn7AjysFS_SPYLGLINznOC_MHzX2YWbleLtHqQ/s320/20151205_145356.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In Drawing these shapes, Kurt demonstrated how a simple circle changes it's shape depending on the view point. The most interesting part was everyone knows it distorts, but to calculate "exactly" how much it is distorted from a specific view was amazing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFg70zMLk1oSEMcpY9Dp-Ubw_hXyNAlMOUHa2eN4DJ5Qy4xLV3T5fy7PlvnV8_OzORr-UE83J4Bg9_w6lSEmxIPx3YMzCxCIg3mQXktOgBGOzgKDPBMOgu88ud6mVEtM4Q1thGkinq_vs/s1600/20151205_150926.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFg70zMLk1oSEMcpY9Dp-Ubw_hXyNAlMOUHa2eN4DJ5Qy4xLV3T5fy7PlvnV8_OzORr-UE83J4Bg9_w6lSEmxIPx3YMzCxCIg3mQXktOgBGOzgKDPBMOgu88ud6mVEtM4Q1thGkinq_vs/s320/20151205_150926.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As drawn if a person was in this viewing (eyes) at 5' 5" off the ground the last ellipse would look round! What was a circle is now an Ellipse as viewed standing above the drawing, but was round from the specific 'designed/calculated' view point. OK that was the start of the first day!</div>
