静物画、人物画、肖像画

This is a 6 week course that will meet once per week.The class will begin with an introduction of myself and fellow students and inquire the artistic goals of each student. The first two classes will cover Still Life drawing. I will post the image we will be drawing on the class page a day before class meets. We will draw objects using highlight, mid-tone, core shadow, reflected light, proportion, and various other techniques. The next two classes will cover Figure Drawing.We will practice drawing different poses with different time limitations. This class focuses on form, negative and positive space, and gestural lines. For the last two classes we will cover Portrait Drawing. I will post the portrait we will be drawing on the class page a day before class meets.We will draw portraits using highlight, mid-tone, core shadow, reflected light, proportion, and various other techniques. I am a hands on instructor and encourage discussion so that all students gain the necessary knowledge to pursue their artistic endeavors beyond the classroom.
