Drawing Technique II for Intermediate Teens

For teens who have already completed the Drawing Technique for Beginners or for teens who have more experience in this medium, this is the ideal class to continue your drawing education. Explore classical principle drawing techniques for achieving accurate proportion & linear perspective.

In the first few weeks, students will develop an eye for line- form & tone in still-life arrangements using a combination of pencil, charcoal or inks plus exercises in how to add color. Students will also explore how to draw using the right side of the brain techniques, how to draw curves and use contour & straight line approximation technique, the essentials of drawing ellipses, drawing a cylinder, hemispheres & how to employ horizontal lines & vanishing points, to give your drawings a sense of volume and accuracy. Learn how to use the midpoint establishment to ensure the two major halves or your drawing are accurate- these classic exercises help students learn how to see shape and form. Drawing exercises will be based on still life work or students are also welcome to bring in their own personal objects to capture or pictures that inspire them, this can also be portraiture. In final weeks students will put together all the techniques to create more ambitious accurate finished drawings using a combination or choice of charcoal, pencils, pastels and inks.
