Course Content

Using a drawing 'set up' in each class, the course covers:

  • a basic understanding of perspective, positive and negative space, proportion and scale, together with an exploration of soft drawing media, such as pencil, charcoal and pastel.
  • selection of objects and composition on the page is also another important aspect covered - perhaps even using the 'view finder' to aid selection

Upon completion of this course you will have a drawing folio showing growing confidence, drawing skills and techniques on a range of topics.
