This ongoing drawing class will cover different drawing subjects and techniques each week. We will cover the different tools such as types of pencils, paper, and erasers. We will cover how to use your arm to draw different shapes.  We will cover the different line weights and strokes used in drawing. The class will cover lighting, shadows, perspective, foreshortening, and more.  Some of the subjects will be eyes, mouths, faces, figures, clothing, still life, buildings, or animals. Each lesson will give specific techniques along with a different subject. Each class will cover a different subject, so drop in to learn to sketch something new.

There is no start or stop schedule. This is an ongoing class that continually repeats. Take one or more. Stay enrolled until the class repeats for you or repeat again. It’s very flexible for you. Students start at all times. Unenroll when you are done.

The class will be taught through demonstration and follow along. A projection screen will be set up to show a live drawing demonstration. The students can follow step by step and ask questions. I will give feedback on the student's progress and suggestions to improve their artistic skills.
