Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this drawing class:

This course is designed to develop the student’s ability to communicate visual ideas quickly and effectively. Students will draw a variety of subjects/objects that occur repeatedly in film layout, composition and gaming in order to expand their visual vocabulary and build confidence in approaching different subject matter. 

This course will develop the student’s ability to draw complex forms in proper perspective, and will encourage students to provide a sense of context and narrative element within their sketches.
