自然を描くクラス

Are you ready to enter the world of nature drawing using pencil on paper? Have you always wanted to be able create a nature drawing with graphite pencils on a piece of paper? More importantly, have you always wanted to pursue a life as an artist and would like to be shown the tools and techniques that are necessary to visualize the artwork that you dream of creating in your head? Look no further! The classes offered here are for the dedicated and devoted artist, young or old who wishes to build upon the foundational knowledge of the great artists of the past while creating art for the future! Art Teacher Meghan Lacey brings both a positive and cheery disposition to her classes and loves to share her love of art with all of you! 

This class is ongoing, offered weekly, meeting for 55 minutes twice a week. Each class will feature a lesson given by Meghan Lacey, a detailed instructional lesson on the nature drawing which will be featured, and the opportunity to draw using the technique of the given day. The teaching method is step by step feedback on how to draw the scene. Students have the opportunity to submit questions and ask for feedback on assignments as well. 

In this class, we will learn how to draw nature items such as flowers, branches or berries for example. For each class, Meghan will teach the students through demonstration and lessons outlining the concepts of each of the components of the drawings. Using a pencil and a ruler, first students will draw with Meghan step by step before adding shading to the illustration. Students will practice their skills starting from the very beginning of compositional line drawing to creating a lightly shaded nature drawing. Sometimes a ruler will be used as a straight edge for creating drawings in perspective. Real life observation for practice outside of class will be encouraged but is optional. In order to benefit from the full experience of the class, students are encouraged to follow along in the lesson so that they can create drawings using the skills outlined in the class. Meghan is so excited to meet you and hopefully encourage you in your own artistic journey!
