Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this drawing class:

This course is designed to get your creative juices flowing. We will practice intuitive drawing techniques, expand our mark making toolkit, make collaborative drawings, work with stencils, and much more. The goal here is to expand our ideas of what a drawing can be, work expressively, and embrace the playful side of art-making. 

This course could work equally well for students of all levels. All are welcome!

Materials for the FIRST class:
• A Strathmore 400 Series Drawing Paper Pad (14” x 17” or larger)

• A Strathmore 300 Series Bristol Board Pad (14” x 17” or larger)

• Chalk and/or oil pastels (nice to have both but one or the other will do-an inexpensive set of 10-12 colors will be just fine)

• A set of watercolor pencils (any amount of colors is fine and any brand within your price range is fine too)

• A watercolor brush set (some of these are very expensive don’t spend more than $10-$20)

• A plastic cup or bowl for water

• Scissors

• A blade for cutting paper (x-acto, utility blade, etc.)

Materials for the Subsequent classes:
As the course progresses students will work in a variety of drawing mediums. In many cases students will choose what they wish to work with. We will discuss this further on the first day of class.

School Notes:
Registration fee is charged only once per semester.
