This course is an introduction to drawing & painting using all types of materials. We will begin with developing a solid foundation in composition. Then the class will explore the necessary skills of line, shape and value drawing and color theory. The final weeks will allow students to combine all these techniques together to create dynamic finished drawings of advanced quality. Each student will be encouraged to develop his or her own personal style and strengths, while at the same time incorporating new skills into their work. Ultimately, the goal for each student will be to produce work that reaches beyond a singular, formulaic approach to drawing & painting, where unique concepts, style and creativity is able to flourish.
