Introduction to Drawing

Beginning and advanced students will expand on their art skills!

We explore working with graphite and charcoal as our materials, and we will practice how to draw by observation. What are the basic shapes of the object and how to build volume by adding shading. Usually, you have used a pencil to add the darker values, and we will also reverse that by using a white colored pencil to pull out the highlights of the object on black paper.  We will be observing regular everyday objects, since it’s fall, fall produce, apples, gourds. It’s better to draw from different viewpoints—seeing it in the round.
