About this event
Dates: Ends Nov 14 Tuesdays, 4:00 PM - 5:30 PM During this fall drawing session, the class will focus on methods of drawing from observation using a variety of art tools and materials. Participants will investigate why drawing from observation can help us to learn about and see the world around us more clearly. They will practice drawing from a live model, anatomical drawing, and plein air drawing, building their technical skills of hand-eye coordination in the process. Teens will gain a better understanding of the principles of art in drawing while learning about line quality, perspective, form and proportion, light and shadow, negative/positive space, and composition. Join this class and improve your drawing skills while exploring your creative voice!
