This course is appropriate for students looking to make their drawings and paintings look and feel more three dimensional. Students will learn how to confidently draw the five major forms and how to recognize those forms in every-day objects. Students will then learn how to combine those forms into more organic shapes as our subjects for drawing become more complex. As a class, we will work through drawing demonstrations and student critiques by drawing directly over student work. Topics covered will include: gesture drawing; contour drawing; and an extended focus on proportion drawing strategies. The exercises covered in this course can be applied to drawing still life setups, the human figure, animals, singular objects and structures from your own imagination.

Base Tuition: $475 + Model Fee: $30 + Material Fee: $15 = $520 Total
