Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this drawing class:

Introduction to the fundamentals of observational drawing. Begin drawing basic geometric forms and gradually advance to more complex subject matter. Using black & white media such as graphite (pencil), conte crayon and ink, you will apply a variety of drawing techniques to produce light and shadow, contrast, depth, and perspective to make drawings that offer a realistic yet artistic image.

Perfect for new students and a good refresher for the experienced. Weekly demonstrations will offer a clear example of how to approach subject matter and the technical aspects of drawing. Individual and group critiques will provide objective feedback. It is my goal that each student will possess improved skill at making drawings of realistic subject matter.

If we are notified at least business days prior to the scheduled start date, a processing fee of $50 is charged for dropping adult classes, YFA classes, or workshops costing $100 or more or a $25 processing fee is charged for dropping programs costing under $100. A processing fee equal to 50% of the tuition is charged for adult or YFA classes and camps that are dropped during the period from six days before the first class meets and the next working day after the first class has met (workshop fees are not refundable during this period). Please refer to the chart below.
