Absolutely. I am sitting here stunned, as a self taught art-er (not really an artist). Eating up his videos but slowly, so they actually land. It's like a horizon suddenly opening with light. His teaching itself is a craft, and what he is offering is the actual technical details of how to create .. literally anything. It almost brought a tear to my eye, the moment I comprehended what a master this man is, and what I can learn from him.

I’m a contemporary art school student. None of my tutors can draw or paint, but they know absolutely all modern and contemporary artists that have ever existed and always tell us: look this artist up, look that artist up. That’s how we are taught. This video is not about overcomplicating simple things, it teaches you how to see things as an artist, I would give my left pinkie to have a teacher like that who can explain how to analyze, how to break down, how to approach. This is fundamental.

He commanded the classes attention completely, and that alone deserves respect. As far as the method, It seemed clear to me. I think when I make a circle in the future I will think about the acceptable circle from this video. Any method that lots of people can learn from is as legitimate as any other.

For those who sid that he over complicate explaining well thats how theory works.At first i said when i started a video, oh its just a bottle but then he explains how draw it correctly. for artists who always draw freehand this is essential fundamental

Best geometry course i ever took. If school teachers started with this, we would be fascinated from the start

As a hobby potter... watching this already improved my work significantly. Love these kind of video gems

I can listen and watch this guy for hours hes an excellent instructor demanding but that's OK does exactly what I need some good inspiration to get off my butt and start painting and drawing like I love to do!

Thank you very much Myron for your clear and straight forward explanations, drawings on the board and your sense of humour thrown in to keep things light. I have Circle Dyslexia, so have never read a book or passed an exam. This episode has taken me 3 weeks to learn and I am working on it 5 hours a day. I am learning to paint and wanted some basic skills to set myself up with. I have listened and watch many videos over the passed couple of months but none of them really suited me. When I found you I was thrilled and will now follow your classes to get understandable directions and teaching. Thanks again and best wishes.

Awesome class! Thank you! The modern mess will never replace classic art, because classic art is the study of the divine harmonies!

If you’re coming into this having no clue what he’s talking about then it definitely will confuse you and seem overwhelming. But the jokes and cracks in this thread are annoying. Keep it real. You haven’t taken many art classes or studied far into techniques. So you don’t understand. That’s fine. Many amazing and talented creative artists that learned their techniques on their own. But this lesson is useful. In art, in drawing, a useful trick is finding shapes in the objects you’re studying to draw. Sometimes people separate the object with circles/ovals that complete the object entirely. Those diagrams he used on the board are real diagrams used for the exact lesson he’s explaining. I can’t even attempt to go into it. I’ll confuse you more than he ever could. But if you’re here then you clearly have an interest in the lessons behind drawing. Why not find a more beginner friendly introduction to this chapter? It truly is amazing at helping you see objects/people in a different light when it comes to drawing.

I’m a fan of this man and my comment was in response to all the negativity on this videos commentary thread criticizing him for “over explaining” and being a “bad teacher”. My point was to let everyone insulting his skills know that they’re obviously ignorant to art in general as this lesson he’s conducting is a common one and anyone who’s taken an art class should know it, so those complaining are complaining because they’re completely clueless. It would be like watching a video on trigonometry and complaining because the teacher doesn’t make sense meanwhile the people complaining can’t even multiply. I hope you actually understand my comment this time as I’m not a fan of having to explain myself to some rude and ignorant person who calls me a bitch for absolutely no reason and doesn’t bother actually reading my comment, but instead jumps at the chance to insult me.

It's not about drawing a bottle. It's about measuring and analysis. When you want to do a piece of art, you don't use ALL the guidelines unless you're a hell of a perfectionist. You just use a few or non at all. But because you know how to do deep analysis, you visualise those relationships in your mind and measure with your eyes, Internalizing it. It becomes second nature. It's a method of training, not a guide to make cute drawings. The art piece should be the organic result of all that mechanical training.

What a great teacher, wish I had him for my class

there are obviously quicker and simpler ways to draw a bottle but he is demonstrating a technique that applicable to any subject matter. Those saying its overcomplicated are missing the point, the method has nothing to do with the bottle and everything to do with seeing the countless relationships that exist within a simple form. he's based

It's good to know and understand the rules before you break them, that's why this information is important. Or you could just wing it, which usually doesn't take you very far, but I guess that's fine for some people.

I find this interesting. It's really not about drawing. It's more about design and how the mind can sometimes attempt to see hidden shapes and design elements contained within an object. Potential for good foundation aesthetics but I think it can get lost in trying to see the math in it.

Completely incomprehensible!

Proper old school methods and I don't have a problem with this, if you don't like this teaching style or find it boring then that's your right. These are the types of lessons the masters and great craftsmen had to sit through and they didn't have the luxury of photoshop and CAD to aid their work, especially in the field of architecture, just boring chalk and blackboard lectures. It's very similar to industrial design drawing techniques, just more boring. All of these measuring methods and proportions are found in classical and grand buildings like Notre Dame and you cannot replicate those proportions and moldings by guessing or taking shortcuts, you have to know how to do it right. Task a class of graduating architecture students who were never lectured on classical architecture and only contemporary architecture to build a car sized scale model of the Sydney Opera House exterior with nothing but the elevations to guide them, they could probably pull it off. Ask these same students to build full scale, free standing wooden models of each classical order with full entablature and moldings as accurately as possible with nothing but the measurements and proportions from Vignola's section plates to guide them. They would struggle because they skipped the boring bit.
