Course Objective
Participants will develop an understanding of the visual language of drawing used to describe the human form and, to this end, be able to see their progress week to week.
Course Description
Drawing is a visual language that teaches how to see. This course will focus on the study of the human form with the aid of the professional life model. The three hours will be structured around short to longer poses so that participants may practice the following fundamentals of drawing : gesture, form, line, volume, light & tone, proportion/scale, and anatomy.
Participants will be encouraged to experiment with different drawing media and introduced to several interesting exercises that will vary in difficulty.
In this way there will be many opportunities to explore the versatility of drawing and experience a personal unique approach to mark making.
By learning these basics, a strong foundation is created that may applied to other mediums such as painting, sculpture, and design to name but a few.
Teaching Style
Instruction has been designed to include different learning styes.
Meeting the participants where they are at helps create a positive, relaxed place in which to enjoy the process of learning. Participants are able and encouraged to see their progress unfold before their own eyes.
