드로잉 클럽: 정물화

Every week, we will have a photo or a set up still life to base our drawings on. We will discuss scale and proportions, perspective and foreshortening as it applies to each specific still life. Students will learn how to create form with shading. Practice makes perfect, so the more time each student spends practicing regularly, the easier it will be for them to draw objects from observation and from memory. Students will interact with each other and the teacher by showing their work in progress throughout the class to receive feedback. Students may provide feedback to each other, in a kind and respectful manner. Students will not be "copying" a drawing done by the teacher, instead, alongside the teacher, students will be working on their drawings independently to practice their own observation skills. We will solve problems together as they come up. We will also use different materials to produce different effects in still life drawings. Friendly conversation during class, and sharing both challenges and successes in our artwork, are always encouraged. #creative
