D r a w i n g : E x p l o r a t i o n s | Intermediate Level
This 8 week course builds upon the skills gained in the Introductory level class. It is also suitable for anyone with basic drawing skills. Again, the emphasis is on exploration. Through a series of exercises, students will acquire greater confidence in their drawing skills, enabling them to translate what they see and to express ideas in a more meaningful way. While continuing to develop fundamental drawing skills, (line, shape, volume, light, space, proportion, composition), students will also experiment with a broad range of ideas, materials and tools. Slide presentations and informal group critiques will be a part of this course.
