Drawing III
In this advanced drawing course students will continue to study the effects of light and shadow to achieve realistic and dimensional effects on their drawings. Multiple techniques will be introduced and used to strengthen the core of a drawing while developing skill with accuracy and and a sense of individuality in expressing in a creative way.
The instructor will introduce anatomy to help students understand the human figure. She will share the techniques and proportions in portraiture to explore how to draw individual character.
This course will prepare the students to move on into any medium with confidence and a solid understanding of drawing skills.
Drawing 1 and 2 are recommended to move into this course, but any student who wishes to expand their refinement of existing skills are welcome.
