Learn how to become a stronger drafts person in this class that focuses on breaking down the complicated world around us into visual shapes and abstracted forms, that when put together, actually create realistic images! We will work on interesting and personal mark-making, the breakup of the picture plane for effective composition, and the distribution of lights and darks for powerful value structure. Great for beginners or more advanced students.

  • Supply List:
  • 2 White Prismacolor Colored Pencils
  • 2 Black Prismacolor Colored Pencils
  • (These can be bought individually at ACMoore)
  • Or
  • 2 White Charcoal Pencils
  • 2 Black Charcoal Pencils
  • (I prefer General's Brand, which are orange on the outside - get "hard" weight for best results
  • And
  • Some toned papers. These are colored papers, not white, and not black, but tones. These are often sold in a pad, and it will usually say something like "Toned Papers for Charcoal"
  • You may also get the toned papers in individual sheets at Michael's Craft Stores, by the brand name "Canson" or "Mi Tientes" and they come in a beautiful variety of jewel and pastel colors - get something fun - just not White or Black.
