Drawing is the essential skill from which all other visual arts are derived—but it’s also supposed to be fun. This light-hearted course offers a basic understanding of drawing from observation for students with little to no prior experience. You’ll be introduced to foundational media such as pencils, charcoal, and drawing papers, along with their uses, strengths, and limitations. Each class presents a new method to help you turn careful observation of three-dimensional reality into compelling two-dimensional drawings, using techniques artists have relied on for centuries. We’ll explore blind contour drawing, proportional measuring, appreciating negative space, rendering light and shadow, and understanding linear perspective. It may sound like serious artistic jargon—and it is—but by the end, you’ll be using it confidently and understanding how it all works. Fee does not include supplies. A supply list will be emailed upon registration.
