Beginner Drawing

Instructor: Angela Risinger

In this beginner drawing class, we will be covering how to draw what we see by understanding how to build from shapes while also measuring. We will mostly be doing still-lifes so we can learn how to render shadows and get various tones out of an object with just graphite. The basics of both one point and two-point perspective will be taught so we can create minor illustrations set to a fun prompt in order to flex our creativity. Along the way, we will also cover the basics of the figure. By the end of the course, I hope the artist in attendance can more comfortably draw things that they both see with their eyes, and in their head!

Intermediate Drawing

Instructor: Ian Cooper

In this intermediate drawing class, we will continue to practice measuring in order to create very accurate drawings, as well as push more of our technical perspective skills with landscapes and architecture. We will also further develop our sense of the figure by doing numerous head studies, all in different positions. This is a five week, two hour class, intended for artists who have a basic understanding of drawing and would like to build their skills even more!
