Description
This activity is closed to further registration.
You can learn about observation and drawing what you see rather than what you think you see - how to see things as basic shapes and turn those shapes into drawings. You will learn about how light works and how to draw it, and how to create that illusion of three dimensions on a two-dimensional surface. You will explore some different drawing techniques in a variety of drawing projects.
