    ,

    It’s been a while since our last lesson! It is now 2026, and I hope everyone reading had a good and safe holiday season. That being said, my own resolution this year is to get through a big chunk of our foundational lessons and move into the more advanced methods, such as perspective and lighting, Read more

    Why did you start making art?  Did you choose it? Did it choose you? Did you walk past a large painting in a museum one day, and it just hit you like a brick? Did you pass a mural, walking through the inner-city, that stopped you sublimely in your tracks? Was it one specific scene in Read more

    So, we now have a new tool added to our bag: curvature. To recap from part 2, the ‘S’ and ‘C’ curves are the basis for this concept, and can be integrated into our 3D fundamental shapes from part 1. Also in part 2, we built a better grasp of our fundamental 3D shapes by adding Read more

    “How do our minds go from the flat 2D plane of a circle and its straight lines, to naturally perceiving this curvature of space and the resulting volume? The trick of this question is that we think too much about what is happening, but our minds already do it, even though we don’t perceive it.“ Read more

    So, who’s ready for more Geometry!? Obviously, if you’ve read Lesson 2 (which I reccomend before coming to this one) then you know Geometry here is a good thing. However, this time it gets even better; because now not only are we not doing any mathematics, but this time we’re not even bothering with history either! Read more

    So, who’s ready for geometry!?  If this sentence is ever said aloud and seriously, it would be safe to wager that the vast response would not be one of enthusiasm. Yet, our geometry teachers were actually right. Geometry is important, it is very important. Geometry is also fun; And I’m not making a joke. The real joke is actually the Read more
