ABOUT THIS COURSE

This course focuses on basic geometric and organic forms as a means to understand form, plane, structure, as well as light and shade. Includes detailed studies of man-made objects and nature where you’ll observe textures, elements, organic shapes and patterns.

WHAT WILL I LEARN?

You will learn to draw from direct observation, not from photographs. This is a fundamental but essential skill that sharpens your perception for accurate eye-hand coordination. You will learn to draw what you see, not what you imagine. You will maintain a sketchbook to record your progress
