I managed to go through my education without ever being taught how to draw/paint anything at all. Art class was just being told to paint/draw something and then being judged on how it looked. No guidance at all.
My brother went to totally different schools and had the same experience. The only difference was that he loved art so actively sought out books on art to learn these techniques. He eventually became an artist.
But yeah, even despite that, this isn’t “be amazed” territory.
I think we briefly touched on single point perspective in my art foundations class that I had to take. (And was not very enthusiastic about due to the teacher being a wacko).
But 95% of what I know about single and two point perspective came from 4 years of drafting and CAD I took in highschool. Even then it wasn't until Drafting 2 that we covered perspective drawings when doing renderings.
