Studio Class
ABOUT THIS CLASS:
Drawing can be defined and approached in many ways. This class concentrates on observational drawing with equal emphasis on the development of perceptual and tactile skills. Although the focus of the class is on drawing what you see, students become aware that it is the analysis of familiar objects into abstract components that will get you there.
Classes will take the form of lecture/demo followed by studio work; trial and error is encouraged! Each day will have a group critique; a dynamic way for students to learn from each other. I have found it helpful to critique student drawings with tissue overlays, making suggestions as specific as possible. Question and answer periods are encouraged throughout. Additional technical information on optional papers and tools for further study is offered.
You will benefit if you have never drawn before or if you would like to refresh existing skills.
Basics of Drawing: Proportion and Spatial Placement
Those who are new to drawing often confront a confusing dilemma; how do I begin a drawing? This 4-week class addresses this, beginning with line alone. Traditions such as “sighting” techniques, perspective, and gesture drawing will help to de-mystify the challenge of creating accurate proportion and spatial depth. Increased confidence with line weight and movement will result in a balanced still life drawing with charcoal line at the end of the 4 classes
Suitable for all levels; no experience necessary! Ages 16+
