We look at drawing and composition to to express an idea and communicate story to create our final masterpiece and get it ready for a public critique.Ĭost (Course): $160 for the Full Course (4 class set)Ĭost (Single): $45 for a Single Class (join any single class!)Īges: 15+ All skill and creative levels welcome (younger artists are welcome with accompanying adult) The Final Drawing conceives of an idea and carefully expresses it through the drawing techniques learned from the previous three classes. In this class, we will explore the different comparative measurement techniques such as Rule-Of-Thumb, Use of the Duer Grid, Tick Marks, Quick Comp Sketching, and more. Artists throughout history have used different techniques to keep their portions and measurement accurate. To draw accurately, we need to be able to take measurements of our subject and correctly transfer them to working surface. By focusing on the negative spaces the true shape of the subject comes into focus while increasing your drawing skills.Ĭlass 3 - Learn To Draw Proportions Accurately This important techniques helps the artist focus on the shapes and relationships between and around the shapes to produce visually accurate drawings and to further break down preconceived notions about the subject. Learn to draw the negative spaces around objects rather than the objects themself. Learn how to concentrate your attention on the line and shape of your subject to accurately draw what you see while developing strong eye-to-hand coordination using contour drawing techniques. To do this we start with line and contour drawing and imagine that we are gently touching the surface of our subject with our fingertips. To learn how to draw you first need to train your eyes to see what is actually there, NOT what you “think” is there. You can also take individual classes to focus on a particular subject or to join in at any time.Ĭlass 1 - Draw What You See, Not What You Know! We recommend taking the entire course to build your drawing skill. The Drawing I Course is divided into 4 classes that allow for careful development and training of each drawing technique.
