About This Activity
Dates: Jan 10- Mar 14 (10 sessions) Tuesdays, 4-5:30 PM Join this class and improve your drawing skills while exploring your creative voice! In this drawing course, teens will learn and build upon the fundamentals of drawing using both traditional and contemporary techniques. We will work with the definition of drawing as a method of mark-making on a surface and learn all of the things drawing has meant and can mean together. This course will cover the tenets of drawing in a variety of materials and mediums where teens will hone their skills such as observation, linear perspective, contour line, reductive drawing, and drawing from memory, among others. By the end of the course, teens will have key drawing skills and techniques in their pockets and will be able to appreciate a wide range of drawing styles in contemporary art. All levels are welcome. Differentiated instruction is provided to meet each student’s individual interests, needs, and strengths.
