Drawing is as much about seeing as it is about creating an image. Strengthen your seeing skills, which will in turn, unlock the skills needed to make more accurate drawings. By observing still life objects, students will learn to utilize negative space, sight measurement, and value relationships. These building blocks of drawing apply to any subject, style, and technique, and are the foundation to all two-dimensional art making. Classes will be every Wednesday from March 19- April 23.
