Learn the fundamentals of mark making in this drawing class designed for beginners. Emphasis will be placed on exploration of drawing media while learning the basics of line, shape, space, value, and light logic. Using graphite, charcoal, and ink, you will learn to translate your observations of our world into two-dimensional imagery. By observing still life and in class demonstrations, you will become comfortable talking about and producing artwork in a supportive studio environment.
