About this Event
Join instructor Juanita Mitchell in this 3-session class at the Renaissance Arts Center! Students in grades 5-8 will grow their confidence in a variety of shading techniques and learn how to apply it in drawings. Students will also learn how to draw features including noses, eyes, and mouths and how to set it in proportion with a face, and will draw a simple still life to practice their shading.
Lesson 1: Practice various shading techniques in small squares (cross-hatch, blending, stippling, etc.), then shade forms to create volume (triangle to cone, circle to sphere)
Lesson 2: Drawing and shading facial features
Lesson 3: Still life day!
