Drawing Basics
Good drawing fundamentals are an essential tool for all artists. This 4-week program is designed for beginners, as well as those who wish to improve their drawing skills. Using graphite, students will learn how to draw what they see by observing still life objects. Techniques in perspective, line, shading, and value will be demonstrated and explored through exercises and practice work. Students will develop a solid drawing foundation and be more confident in their skills.
