About This Activity
Discover the exciting possibilities of combining drawing and experiment with a variety of mediums—including charcoal, graphite, ink, and oil pastels—to create artwork full of texture, depth, and expression. Through guided demonstrations and hands-on projects, students will learn techniques for blending, layering, and combining materials while exploring how each medium can dramatically change the look and feel of a drawing. The class will begin with an introduction to perspective and composition, giving students the foundation to create stronger, more engaging artwork. Participants will then practice observational drawing through a still life study, develop shading techniques with a fun "blurry to sharp" value exercise, and learn the grid method to create accurate, proportionate portraits. Designed for artists of all skill levels, this class encourages creativity, exploration, and artistic confidence while building essential drawing skills. Whether you're looking to expand your artistic techniques or simply enjoy trying something new, you'll leave with original mixed media artwork, improved drawing abilities, and a fresh appreciation for the creative possibilities of combining traditional drawing materials.
