Grab your sketchbook, because in this class we’re going to fill those pages up! Starting with this all-important artists’ tool, students will practice, experiment, fail, try again, push through difficulty, surprise themselves, and ultimately grow as artists. During Block 1 students will learn the fundamentals of drawing, understanding how to mentally deconstruct images they see and reconstruct them on a 2-dimensional plane. The focus of this block with be working completely in your sketchbooks. Block 2 students will expand their fundamental knowledge from the previous block into other mediums, monochromatic acrylic painting, charcoal sketching, and more!

THIS CLASS includes HOMEWORK!

Students will meet weekly during open studio sessions. Students will improve much faster when they complete the assigned exercises. Think of it like a music class; you wouldn’t expect to make progress if you never practiced your instrument between classes, right? Drawing is no different!
