This class develops your skill and understanding of drawing, as we explore the essential element of line with graphite and pen/ink. Through this introduction to the elements of art – line, shape, space, value, texture and form – our class helps you identify, describe and create a work of art. Learn how simple it is to organize your ideas with thumbnail sketches to design a composition. Drawing from observation, participants experiment with contour lines and basic sketching techniques to develop their own personal style. Each week we explore, critique, compare and discuss different artists’ styles, subjects and mediums.
Materials Needed:
8.5″ x 11″ sketch book (minimum of 20 pages)
White vinyl eraser (polymer/plastic)
#2 pencil
* A 50-page sketch book will be available for $5 purchase in class.
