The classes.

The classes and what we learn is going to depend on the students and their personal needs. Each class will have a theme and a short lecture and then we will commence in drawing. Students can bring their own projects if they want and in the last hour teacher will work directly with each. Classes will very likely run into each other as we will focus on the individual students work as the classes progress. Hope to see you there!

(This is meant to be a guide or outline of what is to come and is subject to change.)
•1. Shapes and applying them to subject. Just for a start, we are going to start from the beginning and draw basic shapes (ball, cone, box,) and apply shadow. Shading and pencil strokes
•2. Working with the shapes we practiced last week, but applying them to more complicated objects. We will draw a still life.
•3. Sausage people. Going a step further and applying shapes to more complicated subjects such as people, animals and so on.
•4. Perspective. A step by step drawing of a building. Bring a ruler and follow along.
•5. Perspective. Details of a window.
•6. Foreshortening. How to draw things coming at you, going away. We will apply the same “rules” that we studied last week.
•7. Review. We will work on some class life drawing of each other and decide on our own the direction of our technique
•8. Creative drawing. How to think creatively and put it on paper.

Advanced drawing.

You have some drawing skills, and would like to do something with them. This class will show you how to practice and hone your skills to your greatest advantage. We will focus on creative drawing and how to draw with nothing in front of you as well as drawing from life.

The classes.
Assuming the student all ready knows how to draw and is looking for something different and perhaps a little challenging. How to face the blank white paper. The class is going to be designed around your skills in level and content, and each class is going to be an assignment in itself.
Very loosely, they will look like this.

•1. The blank page. Empty mind, empty page. We will get to know each other’s work a little better and establish how we want to study.
•2. The yellow page.
•3. Grasshopper, your field or mine.
•4. The written word. Working with a writer.
•5. Card games/practice
•6. practice
•7. practice
•8. perfection

It will be important to see your sketches and what you like to do, and you are encouraged to bring sketches you have completed or your sketch book that you will share with the class.
