This workshop will introduce you to principles and elements of drawing using traditional drawing materials. Through the use of line, mark-making, value and tone, students will develop the ability to translate shape, volume and space onto a drawing surface. Concepts of perspective and proportion will be studied to aid in the translation of the three-dimensional world onto a two-dimensional picture plane. Students will also be introduced to ideas of composition, lighting and different papers and drawing supplies.

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN IN THIS COURSE

1. An introduction and detailed explanation of drawing/studio materials
2. An introduction to four classic techniques of drawing
3. Depicting light and shade, and how to light a model
