This is a beginning course in drawing designed to develop and expand one's observational abilities and rendering skills. Students learn methods for sensitively describing objects in terms of line, shape, volume, cross-contour, proportion, light logic, perspective, and compositional space. Each class focuses on a particular formal concept and its function in drawing. Students begin with line drawings and conclude with fully modeled, tonal, volumetric, and still-life drawings. Also covered are fundamentals of pictorial space structure, aesthetics, content, and draftsmanship using still-life and natural forms. The course progresses from basic line drawings to fully modeled, tonal, volumetric, and still-life drawings using pencils, pens, and charcoal. Beginner friendly!
