Class Experience

In reality, there are roughly a dozen basic principles of design that beginning and expert designers alike should keep in mind when working on their projects. In addition, there are another dozen or so “secondary” design principles that are sometimes included as basics, but first we start learning the main ones and have a little time to practice every time after the presentation at the beginning of each session. This will help for a better understanding what the design is and what every principle looks like on a drawing surface. During the course I will explain two principles every time, then the student will draw a small example of what visually he accepts after the theory, which is a free way to explore the a personal vision of the concept. The lessons will be supported with samples and life drawing.
