Drawing Series- March/April 2016

February is almost done and our most recent Printmaking Series is winding down.

We are prepping for our new series. 

For Calvary Baptist in Meadville this will be our March/April Session.  In this next series we will focus on drawing.  Specifically the focus is observational drawing.  We will learn to see as an artist sees.

The ability to take what you see, interpret the lines and values present, and recreate those onto the page, make a huge difference in your ability to draw.

By learning to notice lines and values as they really appear and not as you think they should appear, you are able to draw anything!

We will be using a variety of exercises that will help to “train the brain.”  These exercises will help us see how an artist sees.  I like to say that we are “learning to see.”

With tons of practice with both 2D images and 3D forms, everyone’s drawing skills will improve.  Whatever level of drawing someone starts at this series will improve their drawing skills.  Students will be well on their way to being able to draw anything.
