In this one time live drawing class learnes will look at drawing a cartoon representation of themselves or people they know while examining the distinctive characteristics of Disney style characters. We will NOT be copying characters but rather infusing distinctive Disney traits into our own drawing practice. We will cover: Pencil types - leads - searching and commitment lines Faces - angles and expressions - exaggeration - reference Ink drawing - types of inks - line weight - contour lines Colour - dry media - alcohol markers - coloured pencils. Learners will work along side the teacher but be working on individual art pieces. This is a technique class and the emphasis will be on process as we work towards a finished goal, however a piece may be finished after class time. This program would be ideal for learners who have an understanding of drawing and proportion, who are open to artistic development, who are comfortable being on camera and sharing their work in a small class. We are here to support one another and the classroom atmosphere will focus on being supportive to all skill levels. Faces, Hands, and Feet: Drawing People FLEX is a great drawing class to explore before this one, however it is not a pre-requisite and learners with any experience drawing faces will do well. As with all my classes, my goal as an artist facilitator is equip all learners with not only a safe place for artistic exploration, but the tools to pursue this exploration outside the classroom.
