Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 6
Beginner - Intermediate Level
This class is an 8-week series. Students will sketch a new fantasy landscape every week.
Though prior knowledge in basic sketching skills are not mandatory to attend, it is highly recommended that complete beginners join our Fundamental Pencil Sketching Landscapes series before they proceed to this class:
Pencil Sketching Fundamentals Part 4 - Landscapes & Perspectives
https://outschool.com/classes/3-week-pencil-sketching-art-series-part-4-landscapes-perspectives-DxjZKCZf#usRzeseCIM 

Class will:
1. observe the relative positions of subjects, map out the frame, identify shapes and particularly look for shadow shapes (mapping light and dark)
2. learn how to use lines to create shapes and forms, how to use values to contrast light and dark to add shadows
3. learn to fit details into the drawing as a whole and develop a personal way of simplifying the details so that it is quicker to draw complex backgrounds
4. understand the principles of perspective, horizon line and vanishing point
5. create and complete with a story by adding surrounding elements like trees, clouds and fantasy animals, etc.

Once they built a solid foundation and keep practicing, they will be able to design a multitude of imaginative landscapes of their own. Classes are highly interactive and students will have the opportunity to socialize and share their ideas in a fun and upbeat environment. This is a highly sought-after class for landscape sketching enthusiasts who aspire to become the next generation of children's book illustrators and movie animators.
