Drawing - A Twist on Traditional Methods!

In this class, we learn how to draw using non-traditional methods and by putting a twist on common techniques!

Different drawing methods we will explore together include:

Week 1:  Radiographs - Students will explore how to draw in x-ray style.
Week 2:  Abstract Value Design - Students will create an dramatic abstract design while exploring different methods for value creation in different materials.
Week 3:  Illustrated Words- Students will develop a font style by illustrating a word of their choice.
Week 4:  Perspective Names- Students will transform their name into a dramatic work of art using perspective creation techniques.

No background knowledge is required for this course, just a love for art!  Previous experience is helpful, but not required.

For homework, students will need to spend between 1 and 2 hours per week developing a final artwork, using the instructions/discussion from the week, that will be provided in a video at the beginning of each week.  Learner progress will be evaluated through in progress photos of their work and class correspondence with the teacher/classmates about progression during the creation process throughout the week.  The teacher will provide individual feedback and guidance as each student works through their weekly projects.  Students provide encouragements and constructive feedback/analysis to their classmates throughout the course.

This is a flexible schedule class with no live meetings.  Students will be provided videos and instruction for each week and skills to practice.  All information is posted on the first day of the scheduled week.  Through out the week, students and the teacher will post work and participate in a class discussion/analysis about their work development, setbacks, discoveries and final projects.  All students are encouraged to participate in the discussion/analysis.
