Life Drawing - Evening
This course is designed for beginners who want to learn thebasics of drawing
from life - creating the illusion of depth and complex shapes on a two-dimensional
surface. Using several different types of pencils and paper, students will draw
from still life and photographs (chiefly the human form), learning to observe
the structure of what they are drawing rather than simply relying on just what
they see on the surface. Topics include composition, proportion, perspective,
value and edge relationships, foreshortening and light/shade. Taught by writer
and artist Michael Canavan who will provide all materials needed for which a
supply
fee
of $25 will
be collected at the first class. Class
size
limited. Weather

are
added
