Description

Start out the week with a guided exploration of the foundations to drawing using pencil, pen, and even ink in this 10 week class. Students will learn the basics of drawing - from basic shapes and forms, to volume and light, and explore techniques to draw people, animals, landscapes. The basic elements of composition and design will be discussed and applied with emphasis on the message behind the work. In addition to daily demonstrations, students will explore the study of still life arrangements, and the simple steps for drawing a still life, including measurement and distance between height and width of the arrangements.

Tech Requirements: Wifi, a computer or other device with a built in camera, and a Zoom account. Students will receive an email with instructions prior to the first class.

Materials: Please bring a pencil and sketchbook to the first class.
