Anyone Can Draw!
This course is for anyone who likes to doodle!
This beginning course in drawing is designed to develop and expand one's observational abilities and rendering skill, and is designed to train the beginner to draw with surprisingly fast and effective techniques. The course covers fundamentals of structures, aesthetics, and content using still life and natural forms. Students learn methods for drawing objects in terms of line, shape, contour, proportion, light logic, and compositional space. Students will be able to let go of the restraint of preconceived ideas to allow for the creative freedom of being able to draw what is seen.
The course is loosely based on the book Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, by Betty Edwards. Students are encouraged, but not required to purchase the book. Materials will be provided in class.
