Drawing Foundations

Drawing Foundations introduces students to the essential skills and
techniques of observational drawing using still life objects, reference photos, and a variety of
traditional materials, including graphite and charcoal. Students will explore line, shape, value,
proportion, perspective, composition, and shading through guided exercises and longer studies
designed to build confidence and technical ability. Emphasis will be placed on developing
careful observation and an understanding basic drawing techniques. Beginners are welcome,
while more experienced students will have opportunities to refine their skills and deepen their
personal approach to drawing. Open to students ages 14 and up.
