Assignments
1 hour per week. Each week we will have several different drawing activities and exercises for students to try alongside the video and independently. Students who do the minimum exercises can complete the drawings within one hour or less each week. Students who like to spend more time adding details and exploring variations of each drawing may spend up to two hours per week.
Assessment
I will be available for learner feedback and questions during the 3 week period of the course.

Class Experience

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 drawing
