Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 6
Beginner Level
This class is an ongoing format. Students will sketch a new landscape every week. Each week is charged as a subscription on Sunday mornings. Students can join or leave the series any week. We recommend beginners join our Fundamental Landscape Sketching Semester class before they proceed to this class:
Landscape Sketching & Painting Full Semester Art Series: Beginner Fundamentals
https://outschool.com/classes/df030256-affc-4b09-9e72-f7028090f043 

Class will:
1. observe the relative positions of subjects, map out the frame, identify shapes and particularly look for shadow shapes (mapping light and dark)
2. learn how to use lines to create shapes and forms, how to use values to contrast light and dark to add shadows
3. learn to fit details into the drawing as a whole and develop a personal way of simplifying the details so that it is quicker to draw complex backgrounds
4. understand the principles of perspective, horizon line and vanishing point
5. create and complete with a story by adding surrounding elements like trees, clouds, animals and people

Once they built a solid foundation and keep practicing, they will be able to design a multitude of unique landscapes of their own. Classes are highly interactive and students will have the opportunity to socialize and share their ideas in a fun and upbeat environment
