Description

A complete introduction to drawing practices. 

This adult continuing education course is drawing for absolute beginners.  Designed for the person who has never picked up a pencil to draw, to the person who is picking one up after many years, to the person who wants a refresher! Students will gain confidence in their practices, build a foundation and understanding of the basics. 

In this comprehensive class, we will begin each session with warm-ups to get a feel for the materials, work with graphite, charcoal, and pastels, then move into a variety of shorter practices in each class.  This class is both process based and product based, meaning that students will learn elements of drawing in explorations, and also step-by-step finished drawing work.  


Course Outcomes - 
You will learn basic understanding of drawing techniques, including paper and pencil types
You will work with and understand visual elements such as line, shape, form, perspective, and value in your creations
You will finish 1-2 small pieces

Requirements - 
A curious and interested mind, absolutely zero art experience is necessary for this course.  

Materials - 
All course materials are included, though students may receive lists of supplies if they would like to practice at home after the course ends.
