The course offers a nice overview of all the basic fundamentals; perspective, value, composition and shape. I think the course could have gone a little more in-depth with this however, but as it's clearly aimed at complete beginners it's understandable the lecturer wanted to keep it brief. The same can be said for the homework assignments, which apart from the last week all focused on copying an image, not so much on actually applying one of the aforementioned fundamentals (e.g. the perspective assignment).
