Pencil Sketching - A Perspective Study: Historical & Modern Buildings

This class is an ongoing format. Students will sketch a new architectural element every week. Each week is charged as a subscription on Sunday mornings. Students can join or leave the series any week. We recommend beginners join our Fundamental Pencil Sketching Landscapes series before they proceed to this class:
Pencil Sketching Fundamentals Part 4 - Landscapes & Perspectives
https://outschool.com/classes/3-week-pencil-sketching-art-series-part-4-landscapes-perspectives-DxjZKCZf#usRzeseCIM 

Class will:
1. observe architectures and buildings as shapes and particularly look for shadow shapes (mapping light and dark)
2. learn how to use lines to create shapes and forms, how to use values to contrast light and dark to add shadows and reflections so that the architectures and buildings have thicknesses and depths
3. learn to fit details into the architectures and buildings as a whole and develop a personal way of simplifying the details so that it is quicker to draw complex architectures and buildings
4. understand the principles of perspective, horizon line and vanishing point
5. create and complete with a story by adding surrounding elements like trees, clouds and people

Once they built a solid foundation and keep practicing, they will be able to design a multitude of unique sketches of their own character. Classes are highly interactive and students will have the opportunity to socialize and share their ideas in a fun and upbeat environment.

Mandatory Video Check-In
Video check-in is mandatory for safety purposes per Outschool policy. Students are required to have their cameras on to allow the teacher to check in and verify each learner. After check-in, students have the option of either turning off their camera or leaving it on, whatever is their preference. Younger learners are highly encouraged to leave their cameras on.

Missed Classes & Refunds
All our classes are backed by the ‘Limited’ refund policy. Parents may withdraw up to a week before class starts with a full refund OR within 24 hours of purchase. In the event a learner misses a class, recordings are made available in each classroom. Students are more than welcomed to reach out for any questions and share their work in the classroom.

Late/ Missed Class
All classes will begin on time as long as one learner is in the classroom. In the event that no students are in the classroom at the assigned class time, the teacher will leave a message in the classroom and exit after ten minutes of waiting per Outschool policy.
