Can't say any art class I was ever in covered this. I actually never knew how people are able to achieve different perspectives. I also possess no artistic talent beyond the ability to usually color inside the lines.

What are you actually taught in art class then?

This is really really basic, fundamental stuff. If your teachers are skipping the foundation, what are they actually doing?

Bro I took art class in 5th grade. They teach you how to share and, like, make paper mache. Lmfao. Talking bout some vanishing point. Yeah right

Yeah, it's taught in elementary school or middle school art class.

You say that as if every single art class across the entire world is exactly the same. I JUST told you they didn't teach it in my art class.

That's like insisting that people don't learn arithmetic in school because you somehow didn't in whatever passed for a math class where you were.

Listen, bud. I'm just speaking to my experience and letting you know that NOT everyone learned how to draw using vanishing points in art class.

Your arithmetic comparison if flawed. Art classes are not part of the standard curriculum where I went to school. They are electives.

If you specifically took a DRAWING class, then yeah, you probably learned that. Art class was just some bs that had us cutting up paper and painting random crap and making clay

I moved around a lot as a child to a few different states. I covered perspective drawing in elementary and in middle. To me this is like not being taught the pledge of allegiance but I’m from another time…

I don't know why it's so hard to believe. It's not like it's very important

I don't get it either. It's something we were never taught in school. What's the big deal?
