Beginning Drawing & Introduction<br />
to Art<br />
This introductory lecture-based class teaches the<br />
foundations needed to express your creativity through<br />
drawing. You will use charcoal to do your own drawings<br />
from still life as you learn to see like an artist, explore<br />
media, create dynamic compositions, draw in<br />
perspective, and use light and shadow. We end with an<br />
introduction to color theory and painting with oil,<br />
acrylic and watercolor. After this class you will be set for<br />
your next art adventure!<br />
Please bring pencil and paper to first class meeting. We<br />
will discuss additional supplies at that time.<br />
