Build your drawing skills by learning and improving on technique, drawing vocabulary, and experimenting with the different drawing tools of an artist. We will explore hues, tones, shading, and light sources with drawing techniques like scribbling, cross-hatching, and stippling to create depth and draw realistic subjects by perfecting every feature with drawing skills. Create comic book characters and fantasy drawings to see where your imagination can take you! This class will explore tradition studio practices, such as still life studies, figure drawing, and drawing from reference, as well as fantasy drawing. New projects and subjects will be explored, so both new and continuing students are welcome. *This class is a part of our Certificate in Fine Arts Program and will give each student one point towards their CiFA certification.
