I have a firm belief that anyone can learn to draw and "talent" is really just another word for "dedication and passion"! In this course, we will focus on the techniques set forth by the Ecole Des Beaux Arts, a French Academy that turned out some of the best artists of the 19th century. Working from Drawings by Charles Bargue and from Classical Casts, you will have the opportunity to learn the techniques of Sight Size and Comparative Measurement in order to accurately draw what you see...and have fun! Working in Graphite and Charcoal, students will learn the language of the line and the beauty of these traditional mediums. You will feel like you are transported right into a French academy! This class is designed for all levels. Not sure this class is for you? I encourage you to just drop in for a few sessions and give it a try! This drawing course is an invaluable tool for any artist. **What you will learn** Measuring proportions, establishing angles and refining shapes Tone and finalize shadow shapes Rendering forms and focus on values, edges Historical techniques for rendering: hatching, line weight for emphasis, form emphasis, mass emphasis Tools and tricks for helping you see shapes and values accurately Live demonstrations and personalized instruction to help you learn faster Personalized one-on-one instruction You must bring your own materials.
