Drawing Fundamentals
Visual Arts | Available
Think you can’t draw like a master? Think again! Begin to create convincing, three-dimensional forms on paper in this class for both beginners and those wishing to rediscover or improve drawing skills. Students will experiment with a variety of mark-making media, approaches and exercises, and will work to complete drawings of self-chosen subject matter with individualized attention. The foundation of all art begins with the confidence to pick up a pencil, but sometimes it's hard to know where to start or how to fine tune your drawing. Anissa Boutwell will help give you the confidence to make decisive marks on your paper and, most importantly, to enjoy making art. Class will be begin with group drawing exercises and then focus on each individual's interest projects. Students are invited to bring in images or objects to use as reference in their work. Ideal for beginning students and continuing students.
