Introduction to Drawing
Four Week Series- ($200, materials not included)

Wednesdays: June 17th - July 8th
1 - 3 pm
Instructor: Jaylene Bengtson

Have you always wanted to learn to draw but never got to take the class in school? Do you draw on your own but somehow your “meant to be” realistic drawings fall short? Are you a painter who would like to improve the three dimensional quality of your still life or landscape? This workshop will make all the difference.

You will learn about proper drawing materials and the fundamentals of how to apply effective drawing techniques. After exploring the basics, you will transition to the principles of linear perspective, where you will learn how to construct 3D spatial effects. Finally, you will explore the many ways that the proper use of the value scale can further add to the creation of a form or realistic sense of space. It’s not magic, but good drawing skills are essential for the illusion of three dimensional space on a two dimensional surface.

Class Schedule
Week 1: Introduction to Drawing Materials
Week 2: Exploring Line
Week 3: Principles of Perspective
Week 4: Study of Light and Value
