The video provides clear and concise explanations of figure-ground relationships and different types of space given by Instructor Perkins. His examples and directions are easy to understand and follow. The comparative analysis among all the aspects of composition and the various ways that artists may apply them within a creative work really helps effectuates deeper comprehension and easier application of the principles. Instructor Perkin’s demonstrations and the insight that he shares with viewers are invaluable helpful. Besides, this segment gives a wonderful review of some of the important fundamentals of using space within a design. Sequential illustrators and painters, I strongly believe, will find the video extremely useful.

Hi, it seems that most of the reference files, the pdf documents that go along with each week’s lessons, do not work. If this could be fixed, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
