Drawing is for everyone, it is part of being human! But it does take some sustained effort (I will not call it 'work') and some guidance does help. In this 8 week class, we practise creating the illusion of space and distance with the basic marks and shapes: the line, the sphere, the cube, the cylinder and the helix. Understanding how to portray these basic shapes enables an artist to draw absolutely anything: from architecture to bees.
We do exercises using line, tone and texture; linear perspective, composition and using our imagination. Each week there will be: tutor demonstrations; visual presentations; reference books; and a still life or other arrangement to draw, with emphasis on the natural world.
We will do this while exploring a number of traditional drawing methods including graphite, charcoal and pen and ink.
