Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this kids drawing class:

This class has been designed for youths 13 to 19, to enable the beginner to the experienced student gain confidence in their independent drawing practice. We will explore the techniques and theory that inform a sound drawing, and provide a strong foundation for students to create lasting work. Whether students are interested in the fine art or digital/animated art field, these skills will be an important foundation for both pursuits. 

Students will learn how to create drawings from a progression of simple shapes and forms to complex cast drawings and still life compositions. Each student will be taught at the level at which they are at, and will receive ample one-on-one instruction. Linear and tonal drawing techniques will be explored, involving light theory, drawing block-ins, perspective, tonal gradations, abstracting form and more. Students will work in graphite and charcoal, and will gain knowledge about the materials they use, allowing their confidence to grow in their draftsmanship skills.

Supply List:

  • Graphite pencils, 2H, H, B, 2B
  • Kneaded eraser
  • Sharpener, sanding pad for pencils
  • Blending stumps (pack with a variety of sizes)
  • Generals charcoal pencils, HB, 2B, 4B
  • Willow or vine charcoal sticks (soft)
  • Strathmore Drawing Pad 18” x 24” 400 or 500 series – bright white color preferred, natural white ok. Smooth Bristol or Vellum.
