Description
Class Experience
I've been teaching art/drawing classes for over 15+ years. In these classes, students will learn by example. Students learn when to draw light and when to draw dark. (draw light until you have it right.) Students learn different shading techniques, that mechanical pencils are for precision, regular pencils are good for drawing large areas of texture. It is also important that students learn to control their pencil, and use a variety of different line sizes and shapes. In my classes there...
-Shading techniques, texture, foreground, background, proportion, negative and positive space, learning to hold your pencil correctly, vary line thickness, blending, test eraser before use on your artwork, check and re-check work, learn how to avoid smudges, different techniques for different animals fur, skin or hair.
2-3 pencils on hand during class (I like to have a mechanical pencil and a regular pencil) Good erasers that don't smear. ( Putty erasers are great) 2-3 white papers ( sketching paper is best) It is easier to work with, but not required.
I like to look and observe as we go, as well as, give assessments on the finished piece in feedback. ( Tips to improve and compliments)
55 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
