Observational drawing Class with Illeyah Draunidalo - Iconic Landmarks of Suva

This short course will cover the techniques of constructing a one point perspective drawing in creating an illusion of space and depth on a flat surface.

Students will have the opportunity to apply their understanding of constructing a one point perspective drawing based on an iconic landmark (Suva) of their choice while also learning about its surrounding context, culture, and design elements in a stimulating environment with like-minded individuals.

The classes are a build up towards an art exhibition centered around the theme of Iconic Landmarks of Suva and scheduled for Monday 6 November. Our sessions begin on Monday 16 October to Tuesday 31 October with a class time duration of 1 hour (430pm-530pm).

The Iconic Landmarks of Suva Exhibition will be launched at Alliance Française of Suva and will be opened to the public for viewing.
