Drawing: Contemporary Approaches
6 Week Class | Available
This course is designed to further develop the student’s creative drawing skill set. Through in-class projects students will work towards making a transition from the observational approaches of figure drawing and still life to working from both photo sources and the imagination, as well as other hybrid approaches. With a blend of traditional and contemporary drawing techniques in dry and wet media, students will explore the use of line, shape, colour and value to enhance the expressive possibilities of drawing. All projects will take the form of drawings completed in class.
Note: This is an intermediate drawing class - Introduction to Drawing or previous drawing experience is recommended.
Base Tuition: $333 + Model Fee: $17 = $350 Total ___________________________________________________________________________________
