This 10-week course is designed to familiarize students with the basic methods of drawing and sketching from both life and photography and progressing them through rendering and the use of color mediums.
The materials will be the basic tools of drawing consisting of a pad, various pencils including woodless pencils and simple watercolor pad, pigments and brushes. A materials list will be sent upon registration. Note: Materials for this semester need not be of the finest quality; less expensive supplies will suffice.
Most of the course is aimed at learning how to translate images to paper, create dimension and textures, and evolve simple drawings to finished pieces of art.
The aim of the course is to enable students to gain strength and confidence in the techniques, exercises and observation skills required to create viable artwork. It is designed to escort the beginner or “always wanted to be” artist to the level of skill and confidence for them to advance and create.
