Drawing As Seeing, Level 1, Basic (Foundation) Drawing
Instructor: M Wallulis
Drawing 1 ~ Drawing as Seeing Series, Level 1
Part One: Basic Drawing (Foundation) Skills, Intro
6 wks, Intensive.
Monday evenings, 6:30 pm - 9:30 pm
October 26 - November 30, 2009
Tuition: $120 - 180, sliding scale.*
Our focus for this 6-wk intensive will be on key components of foundation basic drawing skills and technique. We will examine ways of critically seeing and selectively recording information. We will learn and work with contour line, proportion, perspective, compositional balance, measuring tools & techniques, value, and light. We will touch on line techniques such as varied line, hatching & cross hatching. Several different approaches and strategies will be introduced to build and develop both quicker studies and finished drawings from still life, live models, and other sources as subject material. In addition to learning how to create a representational work, the student will develop a visual working vocabulary, critique ability, and conceptual skills. Emphasis will be placed not only on foundation drawing skills but also, and perhaps more importantly, on developing work that has personal meaning and value. The student will be asked to document the works created and submit both works on cd and a physical portfolio at the end of the 6 wks for a critique and portfolio review.
Prereq: No previous formal drawing instruction necessary. Requires willingness to be open minded, work hard, complete assignments and participate in individual & group critiques. Must be open to constructive criticism & feedback, willing to work both independently & collaboratively with other artists.
