The lectures were arranged as follows: the first one was “rather introductory than technical“. The second one dealt with more theoretical aspects as well as some problems of linear perspective. The third lecture was dedicated to themes of practical perspective, from an history of the techniques for drawings a cube and circular sheps to how to render the architectural orders. Lecture 4 was about further methods of linear perspective. Lecture 5, about reflections and their relationships to light and shade. Lecture 6, entitled ‘Backgrounds, Introduction of Architecture and Landscape’ dealt with landscape paintings and wasn’t provided with diagrams.
According to Andrea Fredericksen’s essay, Turner was delighted by teaching architectural representation, in the form of ancient, modern or even imaginary buildings or details. However, Turner also cautioned future architects in his audience against ‘designs of architecture [that] are but splendid drawings when destitute of practicability by an over-indulgence of fanciful combinations’, (Fredericksen, cit.) probably referring to Gandy (master of caprice and fantasy) and Giovan Battista Piranesi and his prisons.
