Drawing Essentials

Description

Course Overview
Have you ever wanted to learn to draw? Here is your chance to gain that skill, so useful for its own sake, but also as a necessary foundation for painting or design. We will start at the beginning with essential exercises in line and form. We will go through the ten basics, such as gesture, line, texture, mass, space, silhouette, figure-ground, tonality, light/shading, and perspective. As well as the Basics, we will aim to produce some skilled and finished drawings.
