Interpretive Drawing classThis Interpretive Drawing class is for students with some experience in drawing or other mediums, aiming to refine and enhance their skills. Over six lessons, students will work with live models and still life, honing observational abilities and experimenting with techniques like "No Look," Contour drawing, and charcoal shading. Each week, students will fill a sketchbook, track their progress, and receive personalized feedback. By the end, they’ll have a stronger grasp of balance, technique, and artistic expression, culminating in a final critique highlighting their growth.

Lesson 1: The Human Form Foundation & Exploration
Layout of The Program:
You will not learn to draw; you will learn to draw better.
The human form, with its natural complexity, is the ideal subject for exploration. We will work with live models and still life to sharpen observational skills.
Weekly Challenge: Fill one small sketchbook each week, capturing as much as you can. Your first sketches will establish a baseline using pencil or charcoal. Save all work from each class for ongoing review.
