Core Drawing: It All Starts Here
360 Online Class | This program is completed
This course will demystify the drawing process, from start to finish. There will be a focus on both observational and conceptual work, and a thorough coverage of materials, methods, and process. Topics will include perspective, contour, light & shadow, composition, mark making, sighting angles, and the different types of papers and pencils available to the artist. Each weekly assignment will build on the previous one, to provide a thorough understanding of principles of drawing. Students will develop their artistic eye as well as their hand. While focusing on core fundamentals this course will also explore the use of toned paper and allowing more experienced students to explore new materials.
