Beginners, or those with some art experience will benefit from drawing from life, objects, and occasionally, photos. Learn various techniques: perspective, basic drawing skills, shading, lighting, contouring. We will study the drawing of portraits and still life and review the elements of design in art. Please Note: Bring drawing materials: 14 x 17 or larger drawing pad, dark (soft) black drawing pencils, kneaded eraser, white eraser, 12" ruler, a self contained pencil sharpener, scissors, and, later in the course you may need graph paper, tracing paper, grey and black drawing papers.
