EVENING DRAWING COURSE

WEEKLY WEDNESDAY WORKSHOP:

This course is an ongoing six week block drawing class. Participants are given direct objects to improve their ability to draw everything they see.
  • Line – The way we treat our lines establishes a particular/dominant mood/emotion.
  • Shape – Flat, 2D aspects of form, as opposed to volume (think silhouette)
  • Value/Tone – Relative lightness or darkness
  • Texture – Can be actual or implied
  • Space – Positive space is the figure/object you’re drawing; Negative space is the area AROUND the figure object you’re drawing
  • Color – (we won’t use color in Beginning Drawing)
  • Focus/Emphasis/Dominance – the prime center of visual importance within a composition to which all other visual elements yield; it holds the viewer’s attention because of its attractive and dominant influence on its surroundings.
