If you have ever tried to draw, and said, “I can’t make my hand do what’s in my head,” then you are not alone. No matter how often art teachers tell students that drawing is not the only gateway to art making, that powerful “gateway” belief persists. So to create an accurate representation of what you see, our strategy will be to slow down and learn to see what is there — searching out lines, shapes, textures, shade, shadow and color variations that create the illusion of depth on a flat surface. Through short lecture/discussions, demonstrations, drawing activities and practice, the instructor will be your “guide on the side,” asking and answering questions in a positive, supportive learning environment. Fun is also allowed.
NOTE: It is imperative to attend the first class. Please do not register if you are unable to do this. There will be a $10 materials fee. All materials will be provided.
