The great thing about drawing is you can do it anywhere! This course approaches drawing as a way of thinking and seeing. We’ll introduce basic techniques while also encouraging experimentation, with a focus on both drawing from life and drawing as an expressive act. Students will be introduced to the basics of line, shading, proportion, composition, texture and gesture. You’ll also maintain a drawing journal, and use it as a regular space for observation and personal expression. Through exposure to a variety of mediums and techniques, you’ll gain the skills and confidence necessary to develop an individual final project of your choosing.The great thing about drawing is you can do it anywhere!
