Understanding perspective and making space visible through drawing
How does a credible impression of spatial depth and plasticity emerge on a two-dimensional surface? The workshop Perspective: Understanding, Seeing, Creating provides the fundamentals for depicting object motifs coherently and realistically on Sunday, November 15, 2026, at the Education Center Gelsenkirchen.
Linear Perspective as the Key to Spatial Representation
The focus is on the mathematical-geometric principles of linear perspective, which played an important role in the Italian Renaissance. Participants will construct various vanishing point perspectives and then transfer the acquired knowledge to the observation of a three-dimensional space.
Seeing, measuring, and transferring through drawing
With arrows and measuring tools, participants will practice capturing what they see accurately and transferring it to the drawing surface. The vanishing lines of basic shapes serve as practical guides to control proportions and perspective consistency in the image composition. Color and aerial perspective are also classified as important design tools in painting.
Still Life as Conclusion of the Workshop Day
The newly developed understanding of space and perspective will flow into the representation of a still life at the end. Thus, the workshop combines professional fundamentals with a concrete event experience and visible drawing results. Instructor Julia Körmendy, a graduate designer from the Folkwang University of the Arts, a freelance artist, and an experienced course leader at educational institutions in the Ruhr area, will accompany the practical work.
What should be brought?
You will need paper starting from a size of 30 x 40 centimeters, rulers, a protractor, pencils of various hardness levels, and two to three objects to be drawn. Registration for the workshop is required.
Conclusion
The workshop day is aimed at anyone who wishes to expand their drawing fundamentals and construct spatial motifs more confidently. A concentrated, practical event experience for art enthusiasts in Gelsenkirchen emerges between vanishing points, guide lines, and still life. Those who want to not only understand perspective but also see and create it immediately will find the right framework here.
