Drawing
Drawing is a primary pillar of the visual arts. It is a foundational part of your artists artistic growth. This drawing course will focus on growing your skill of seeing as an artist. Seeing a composition as lines, then tones, then textures. We will then be looking into what makes a strong composition. This course is a studio drawing course which means that the studio itself is the main conduit of learning. The students have a few activities they need to complete at home but the main opportunity in this course is the studio setting where still life and drawing opportunities are made available for your artist in a studio class setting.
