Beginner Level
In this introductory art class, we will begin learning basic drawing concepts for 3-D objects as well as how to understand light and shadow. We will use these concepts by applying them to several different drawings, including drawing basic 3-D geometic shapes, drawing a dog, drawing a cat, drawing trees, drawing flowers and drawing people. Each class uses live demonstrations along with verbal narration of the steps being taken and concepts that we are exploring. Powerpoint images are also occasionally incorporated when necessary. Teacher feedback will be available upon request during the 3-week duration of the course.
Learning Goals
Students will learn about light and shadow and how to bring this into their drawingDrawing 3-D Objects
