This class is meant to help teach students the basics of drawing. This class is for students who want to be able to learn ANYTHING.

This class will approach the first step of the painting (the block in) by working from black and white reference. We will then choose our own colors to match the block in values.

This class will introduce GESTURE and simplify the figure into basic geometric shapes. We will observe and practice proportions, simple anatomy, and costuming/clothing. We will learn drawing rhythms that track through the figure to create symmetry and flow to your lines. This study will be a great way to add people to your sketches and paintings. We will use smooth newsprint and Charcoal pencils with kneaded erasers to begin with. Bring a sketchpad and pencils too!

Explore creativity through different mediums while learning foundational art techniques.
