Beginner Drawing / Sketching: 8 Week Course Learn to Draw Amazing Things

Anyone can Learn to draw.  As long as the student has a desire to learn drawing, I can teach them how.

                                                  Class format 
  We will meet 1 time per week for 8 weeks. 
    Each day we will start class with warm ups and exercises that begin the training of seeing like an artist. We will then move in to our drawing. At the end of class students will be given an assignment to practice during the week on their own. This outside class practice will help student to use the skills they learned and enhance their progress.

                                         Who is this class for?
  Both beginners and those who have been drawing on their own and could use some fundamental training will benefit from this class.

                                                   Supplies
    Students will need a set of Graphite Pencils for this class. I will teach them how to use these pencils.  See detailed supply list.
     I believe that good quality supplies and beautiful subjects help inspire young artists to create and to feel confident in their work.

Class 1   Line: Line types, duplication exercises, landscapes
     We will start with simple lines using graphite pencils in different ways to achieve different line widths, values and effects. Students will be amazed how these simple lines help us create gorgeous landscapes in this first class.
Class 2  Shapes: Basic shapes, geometric and organic shapes. We will learn to sketch  shapes, quickly and with confidence. We will use basic shapes to draw simple line drawings. Ice cream cones, mushrooms, apple.
Class 3   Line Drawing: Birds
Class 4  Shading: techniques, value, form, texture
     In this lesson I will show students how to use varying pressures on their pencils to create a value scale of light to dark.  These values will enable us to create form in our drawings for a realistic effect.
