This is an 8-Week Semester Series. Classes will meet ONCE every week through the course of the curriculum.

Students will embark on a journey into urban landscape sketching and drawing. They will learn to seamlessly integrate man-made architectural elements, green spaces and urban dwellers into vibrant cityscape settings. The course covers essential techniques and exercises to enhance observation, perspective, shading, and dynamic sketching skills. Emphasis will be placed on creating depth and dimension through detailed foreground and background work, as well as capturing the movement and energy of people in urban environments. Students will gain a comprehensive understanding of how to intricately depict the beauty of cityscapes. 

The semester will wrap up with students capturing an urban setting from a photo reference, here they will explore personal expression and storytelling through their renditions. Through the exchange of ideas and feedback with peers and the guidance of a dedicated teacher, students will not only develop technical skills but also uncover their unique artistic voices in the realm of urban drawing.

1:1 Private class option: The curriculum below provides a structured framework. It can be adapted to suit the needs and interests of the students for individualized portfolio development.

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. Turning on their video at least once is also a requirement to access the recordings of meetings. After check-in, students have the option of either turning off their camera or leaving it on, whatever is their preference.
