Description

Learn about observation and drawing what you see rather than what you think you see. This class explains how to see things as basic shapes and turn those shapes into drawings, how light works and how to draw it, and how to create that illusion of three dimensions on a two-dimensional surface. We will explore some different drawing techniques in a variety of projects. Repeat students welcome. Required text: Your Artist's Brain, Carl Purcell (2010). Suggested materials: Ebony or other drawing pencils, white vinyl eraser, kneaded eraser, pencil sharpener, 14x17 drawing pad. If you already have materials, bring those. Fee: $80 ($60 for those with ICSC's low-income membership); pay instructor. Membership required.
