Please join us on Wednesday, October 12 at 3:00 pm for a book talk by Conrad Ross, author of Perceptual Drawing, A Handbook for the Practitioner. The program will be held in the Special Collections and Archives Department of the Ralph Brown Draughon Library.

Conrad Ross is Professor Emeritus of Art. From 1963 to 1997, Ross taught drawing, printmaking, and painting at Auburn University. Perceptual Drawing presents a practicum of 10 plus drawings, which lead the reader in a detailed explanation of various perceptual concepts considering line and tone. Perceptual Drawing is a study of seeing and drawing what-is-seen. Using geometric forms in various setups, it is an attempt to understand, in a comprehensive manner, those perceptual concepts useful to the practitioner.
