INTRODUCTION TO DRAWING & PAINTING: COMPOSITION, FORM, & COLOR /Jamie Ballay
Fridays from 10 AM - 1 PMJuly 10th - August 21st*NO CLASS 7/37 Weeks
Class Fee: $225

Using a combination of dry and water-based materials this class will explore the process of picture making. We will work directly from observation and photo references to explore still life, portraits and landscape subjects. Our first priority will be discussing and creating strong compositions. For this we will work with various approaches such as thumbnails and Notans to explore composition. At first the work will embrace quick studies which become the foundations for more considered projects. Along the way we will discuss creating form and utilizing color. For the first class come prepared to work in charcoal to start with and during the first session we will have a discussion about other materials and mediums. After the first class students are welcome to choose their preferred method or switch between the various materials.
