Drawing Fundamentals

Adult Classes | Available

Learn the techniques used to create original pencil drawings, with a curriculum designed for those who are learning to draw or getting back into it. Media will include graphite pencils of varying hardness. Students will learn the basics of how to sketch and draw, using a variety of pencils to create different tones and values, textures, and shading techniques in order to achieve the eventual goal of finished pencil art. Each student will be expected to spend the time working on technique and developing his or her own drawings. The classroom setting will be light, focusing mainly on getting the most of each student’s individual abilities and talents.
