Studio Art - Drawing

This class will focus on improving the student's drawing skills. If they already have a basic knowledge or claim to not be able to draw at all, this class will help students develop the skills needed to create more realistic and creative drawings. We will learn about things like drawing in perspective, using shading and shadowing methods, different types of lines, drawing figures and faces, and how to use the positive and negative space in an image to be able to see like an artist. We will use several different art mediums such as charcoal and pastels, as well as pencil. My goal is to help each student have a better knowledge of the art of drawing as well as feel more confident in their drawing ability and have fun with it!

The students will also learn about the elements of art and design which will give them an understanding and hopefully, appreciation, of art!
