Experiencia de clase

  • Students will learn to see and draw subjects the way a classically trained artist would. Students will learn to break down complex objects first into simple, broad shapes. Media Exploration (ink & brush, drawing pens, charcoal pencil) They will learn basic art terminology and apply it to their drawing.
After receiving my diploma in Visual Communications at a Canadian art college (four year program) many years ago, I began my career as an illustrator. My work has appeared in a wide variety of publications, including five children’s books. 

I also recently taught university level illustration and Design Drawing for seven years. These courses covered the fundamentals of academic drawing, including perspective and figure drawing with live models. Students at the university (whether majoring in fine art or design/photography in their second year and beyond) were required to take drawing fundamental classes. Learning to observe, interpret and communicate what you're seeing is truly the first step to all visual arts.

I've simplified the content to be age appropriate, and to take small progressive steps as our class time permits. For students with more experience and knowledge, they are free to work at their own pace during class time. The class lesson can adapt to the level of individual student(s).

1. A coil ring sketchbook measuring 8.5 X 11 inches (approximate). Ideally the paper in the book should white, paper weight around 98lb and medium grain. This will be adequate for our needs as ink washes will be minimal
2. Painter's tape (or masking tape)
3. Pencils (from hard graphite to soft) a range of four should suffice. 
4. A white eraser (Staedtler is a good brand that won't leave streaks). A kneaded eraser 
5. Pad of toned paper *Can be substituted with brown wrap paper/large brown paper bag - cut it flat and use inside for drawing.
6. Calligraphic brush (any round brush that tapers to a point will work)
7. Drawing ink & small plastic vessesl to hold small amounts of ink (like the plastic tray that comes with water colors or styrofoam egg carton)
8. White chalk or conte crayon (conte: similar to charcoal but harder and can be used for fine detail)
9. Black drawing pen (fine point sharpie, felt tipped pen, etc)
10. For Linear Perspective (3 classes at the end) a strait edge, ruler or set square recommended.

*As we are briefly exploring materials for now, there is no expectation to have the very best, professional supplies. If you cannot find any of these or wish to use something already on hand, we can likely make it work or find a substitute. 

*If your learner wants to substitute any or all of the above with Procreate (and is familiar with it) I welcome that. *I do not teach how to use Procreate however.
