Drawing Explorations
6 Week Class | Available
This course is designed for students with some drawing experience who are eager to deepen their practice. Blending traditional and experimental methods, students will explore a wide range of wet and dry media on various surfaces—including wood and three-dimensional objects.
Each week, we will focus on different aspects of drawing including backgrounds, supports, surface treatment, format, colour, scale and composition. Through guided demonstrations, presentations, and hands-on assignments, students will build a personal body of work that reflects both technical growth and creative experimentation. Students will also be introduced to the role of drawing in art history, and will examine the practices of contemporary artists.
