 Week 1
Lesson 1
Upside Down Drawing - Right Brain vs Left
This week, we'll be exploring a fun technique called upside-down drawing! By flipping our artwork, we challenge the left brain's focus on recognizing objects and activate the right brain's creativity. This allows us to focus on shapes, lines, and relationships between elements, potentially leading to more surprising and expressive drawings.
 Week 2
Lesson 2
Blink Contour and Value
Unleash your inner artist this week with two exciting drawing techniques! We'll be diving into blind contour drawing, where you focus on capturing the lines and movement of your subject without looking at your paper. This fun challenge encourages a more intuitive approach. Then, we'll explore value drawing, where we focus on light and shadow using a range of tones. By combining these techniques, you'll gain a deeper understanding of form and create captivating artwork!
 Week 3
Lesson 3
Positive vs Negative Space
This week, we'll be exploring the magic of positive and negative space! Imagine a puzzle - the positive space is the image you're building, like a cat, while the negative space is the leftover area around it. By learning to see and use both spaces effectively, you can create more interesting drawings!
 Week 4
Lesson 4
Gesture and Figure Drawing
We're getting loose this week with gesture and figure drawing! We'll start by capturing the essence of a pose through quick, flowing lines (gesture drawing). Then, we'll use these gestures as a foundation to build more detailed figures, focusing on capturing movement and form.
