Course Objective

​

Drawing is a visual language that teaches how to see: the student will develop an understanding of the visual language used to describe the human form.

​

Course Description

 

This course builds on the fundamentals of drawing discussed in Beginners 1.

The following elements will be reviewed: gesture, form, line, volume, light, proportion/scale, and anatomy.  Extended poses will be the focus, with special attention given to composition.

 

By learning the fundamentals of drawing, a substantial base is created for further learning: painting, sculpture, printmaking and design to name but a few disciplines. The following elements will be covered in this course: gesture, form, line, volume, light, proportion/scale, anatomy, and composition. Every class will progress from short to long poses.

 

​

Instruction Philosophy

Instruction has been designed to include different learning styes.

Instruction for this course will engage both sides of the brain- the intuitive side

(as with gesture drawing) as well as the logical side (as in the use of basic math and geometry).  Meeting the learners where they are helps create a positive joyful place in which to develop drawing skills.
