Class Experience

The Basics of Drawing will cover basic drawing technique through the use of drawing pencils and colored pencils.

Week 1: The study of line and shape
Week 2: The study of shading
Week 3: The study of symmetry
Week 4: The study of abstract art
Week 5: The study of realism

Class will begin with an interactive discussion about the days topic and will be followed by hands on experimentation of the subject and technique.

The class will be taught through discussion and observation. Examples will be given to help give learners a "springboard" to dive into their art. And positive feedback will be given to help progress their art journey, into the future.

Learners will be asked to think and answer questions about that days topics (such as, "What is an example of line?"). At the end of the class everyone will share their drawings with the class, if they feel comfortable doing so. 

No prior experience or knowledge is needed. Just an open mind and the desire to be creative and to learn.

Note to parents: The Monday morning section will be 55 minutes instead of 60 minutes. We will still cover just as much material as the 60 minute sections.
