INTRO TO DRAWING FOR ADULTS ONLINE
In this drawing class, students 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. More experienced students are also welcome to join, as the instructor is able to incorporate different learning levels in the class.
