Introduction to Drawing and Painting
Students learn the essential elements of drawing and painting by working from still life and reference materials. Designed for the beginning student, this course strengthens observational skills and introduces composition, form, values and color. Students start by doing gesture and contour drawings. They learn composition by making thumbnail sketches. They learn form and technique by painting in black and white before they paint in color. Through demonstrations and individual attention, students become fluent in drawing and painting and gain confidence as they learn to see differently. This course prepares students for more advanced studies. |
