Drawing Course Focuses

Drawing Course Focuses Drawing for the First Time Description Ease into art making in this  enjoyable, non-intimidating first  drawing course. Projects help  students learn concepts and  express themselves as they  develop skills and confidence .  Students discuss what they see,  evaluate drawings, and develop  the ability to see in non-stereotypical ways. Short exercises, long poses using a life model, still life, and landscape enable students to learn about line, value, form in space, and composition. This course includes an independent portfolio project and a portfolio review day to be arranged. Drawing Fundamentals Description This in-depth workshop introduces and builds upon fundamental drawing concepts that apply across disciplines. Line, value, shape, form, space, intent, and other elements are addressed using direct observation, figure studies, and invented and conceptual imagery. The class refers to contemporary and historic practice from many sources and traditions.
