Class Experience

In this ongoing class I will take the students step by step in how to build their drawings, correct them and put shading on their drawings.  

I will teach them how to create a light and loose sketch working from large to small using simple shapes. They will also learn to relate; looking at one thing in relationship to another. They will  be taught how to see flows, use negative shapes, use a grid, how to measure and how to correct their drawing. I will teach them about shading, how to soften, where to place them and how dark they should be. 
Please print out each picture before class. Thanks
