Art Studio - Drawing

Develop and strengthen fundamental art skills in our teen art studio - drawing class! 

This course focuses on foundational skills.  Drawing is the foundation of so many art practices - painting, sculpture, even photography and videography!  In this class, teen students will learn and refine the fundamental practice of drawing. We actively develop and strengthen fundamental skills with a focus on both traditional and contemporary drawing materials and concepts, exploring essential elements of 2D design and contemporary art. Through hands-on studies of line, perspective, tone, proportion, composition, value, gesture, and contour, students experiment with a number of media such as charcoal, graphite, ink, and colored pencils. 

Course Outcomes for Teen Students - 

• Gain confidence in your drawing as you learn a variety of techniques
• Understand foundational skills such as pencil and paper types
• Learn about contemporary and historical works of art across various communities and cultures
