Class Experience

US Grade 7 - 10
Beginner Level
We will become well versed in the fundamentals of drawing using techniques like, gesture and proportion drawing, shading and value, charcoal draping, and negative space.
 
This will be accomplished with the use of a document camera, presentations, practice, and projects. 

At the end of each unit, there will be a larger project that will encompass all that we have learned throughout the unit. 

For the last unit, we will work on our final piece. It can be a continuation of a project from the semester, or it can be a whole new work inspired by the lessons learned. It can encompass all of the techniques and mediums used throughout. We will discuss and brainstorm before beginning the project.

Learning Goals

Proficiency in the art of drawing
Confidence with the techniques in drawing
