8 week Drawing Course (MON EVE)

9th September - 11th November 2024 6-9pm

This is a course of 8 consecutive lessons, where we will be learning how to draw, from producing a quick sketch to a detailed drawing, where we will find out how basic drawing techniques can be applied to any subject.In the first half of the course we will learn how to create a realistic-looking texture using a selection of pencils, charcoal sticks and fine line pens. We will practice shading by using strokes, feathering, crosshatching, fading shading, learning about form, light, shapes, composition, depth and perspective. We will achieve these by drawing simple 3-D shapes, still-life, landscapes and city/town scenes.In the second half of the course we will introduce pastels, however we will still continue to use charcoal sticks and continue to practice how to shade. In addition we will learn how to capture the character of an animal and also we will explore movement and motion by drawing and sketching humans and animals in movement and motion.At the end of the course we will be having fun by exploring the modern arts. We will be free to use any materials and by using our imagination we will hope to achieve a deeper understanding of the modern arts. Though we will get an inspiration from famous artists, at the same time we will aim to create an original and unique piece of art.
