사실적인 그림 그리기에 대한 전체 소개 - 자기 주도 학습

This course is an introduction to realistic drawing that would be both fun and useful for all who love drawing. This course is a very detailed step by step guidance through all the main aspects of realistic drawing, such as composition, shading, understanding color, hatching techniques, layering and more! We will create five awesome art projects using different approaches and new techniques in each one of them. Students will have a chance to create a realistic landscape, still life drawing, animal drawing, botanical drawing and a portrait.

We will be using the most accessible supplies (graphite pencils and colored pencils) to create our projects. I will be uploading a video with a full length drawing process at the beginning of each week, so that the students can follow along and draw together with me. Drawing process will be divided into a few steps with detailed information on what we are doing and why. I will be doing a line drawing in the video as well as showing options for coloring/shading. Students will have one week to finish each piece and send it to the teacher through private messaging or upload it to the classroom.

Students will receive a personalized constructive feedback on their work each week, as well as support and encouragement when needed during the drawing process. I will also promote students' communication with each other by posting an interactive activity for the students to work on together each week, such as trivia quizzes on drawing and fun fact sharing.

Here's a full list of the themes covered in this course:

Week 1. Drawing a personal and unique still life art piece. What is still life and how can we make it more fun and "alive"?

Week 5. Drawing a realistic portrait. Understanding face anatomy, combining knowledge and techniques from the previous weeks.

Please note that this class is a "flex" class, meaning there are no live meetings and all interactions between the students and the teacher happen on the class page.
