4. Space

Ready to use, no prep: teach the element of space with 23 illustrated slides on positive and negative space, depth cues and perspective. Students learn overlap, scale, atmospheric perspective and one-, two- and three-point perspective step by step.

Ready to use. No prep. Simply beautiful.

Open the file and start teaching. This Space deck is fully finished and classroom-ready, with nothing to build, edit or rearrange, so you can spend your time with students instead of making slides. Every slide is designed in a rich artistic style, with botanical borders, elegant vintage lettering and detailed sketchbook-style illustrations. The drawings and illustrations inside the deck inspire students with new ideas for their own artwork. Professional, polished and as beautiful as the art you teach.

This deck covers both sides of space: the flat space of a composition, and the illusion of depth. Step-by-step perspective slides make it easy to teach as a demo.
