Drawing for the Absolute Beginner


Drawing is a skill, not a secret talent. Start from zero and learn to draw with confidence


More details

Do you want to learn how to draw but don't know how to get started? Drawing for the Absolute Beginner is an ideal course for people with little or no experience in drawing. Students will be guided through the drawing process: from finding initial inspiration, to developing strong compositions on their paper, to executing fully developed illustrations. Foundational skills in mark-making, shading, perspective, and depth will be developed through in-class exercises/demonstrations and term assignments. Students will explore different illustrative approaches and experiment with both dry and wet drawing materials such as graphite, charcoal, and inks. Working from both imagination and observation, students will draw from a range of subjects including still-life arrangements, a live model, and photographs. Suitable for all levels. TUESDAYS, JAN 12 - APR 06, 10AM - 1PM(PT) IN-PERSON
