In this 4 week class we will be exploring more than just the basics drawing. We will be doing exercises to help improve drawing skills, as well as creating great artwork. Students will create sketches and one drawing project a week.  The class will be fun and will give students freedom in the subject matter that they chose to draw. Exercises will be interesting and the each student is expected to contribute and engage in the class discussion on the classroom page. This interaction with the other students and the teacher will be engaging and encouraging. Some drawing experience is necessary, but an advanced level drawing skill isn't necessary. 

The lessons in this class will include:  one point perspective, the "string method" of drawing a still life, figure drawing, and portrait drawing. We will also have drawing exercises to help with observational and figure drawing . There will be an emphasis on observational drawing, but the students can add their own creative viewpoints. 

Every week a video will be sent with step by step instructions for the exercises and projects for the week.  Throughout the week we will discuss the exercises as well as the project with each other in the classroom and with the other learners enrolled in the class. We will interact with each other and do student and teacher critiques that will be positive and encouraging. We will share pictures of our work, talk about any struggles we have with the projects, and just cheer each other on! The discussion will be positive and encouraging as will as informative and helpful. 

A new lesson and project will be given every Monday by 9am and discussions will be expected and will happen all week!
