INTRO TO DRAWING FOR ADULTS ONLINE
In this class, students with no previous experience will develop basic observational and perceptual drawing skills. Using a variety of media and methods, students learn fundamental approaches to interpreting visual forms. Through the expressive use of line, shape, value, texture, and composition, students gain an understanding of how drawing is used as a means of creative exploration and communication, in turn, strengthening personal expression.
This class is open to students who want to continue their studies and increase their skills.
