This introductory course is designed to help you build confidence and skill in drawing by focusing on essential techniques. You’ll explore how to use line and shading to define shapes, and learn the fundamentals of composition and design. We'll also dive into one-, two-, and three-point perspectives to create the illusion of depth and dimension in your work.
Drawing is a skill anyone can learn—and in this course, you’ll develop a strong foundation by working with key elements such as line, shape, value, texture, and the role of light in framing a picture. While previous drawing experience is helpful, it’s not required—just bring your curiosity and creativity
A supply list will be provided to students before the course starts.
