Course Description

Two students discuss a drawing project

A foundational course designed for students who are new to drawing or wish to strengthen their basic drawing skills*. This summer course guides students through the essential techniques and principles of drawing, offering a comprehensive introduction to the art of seeing and translating what is observed onto paper.
The course covers a range of topics, including the use of linework, shape, form, texture, and shading to create depth and dimension in drawings. Through a series of hands-on exercises and projects, students will learn how to represent objects from life, explore different drawing techniques, and develop a strong foundation in visual perception. The course emphasizes seeing the world through an artist’s lens and expressing it effectively on paper. Students explore various drawing mediums, such as graphite, charcoal, and ink, and will practice drawing from life and imagination. By the end of the course, students will have a solid understanding of the basic elements of drawing and the confidence to pursue further artistic stud as well as a solid portfolio of pieces.
