This course will introduce students to elements and principles of art and design. With emphasis on deeper understanding of art elements and principles, in each lesson, we will focus on skill building, generating creative ideas, problem solving, and communicating their ideas clearly through art, while exploring numerous drawing techniques. We will be working on our sketch using sketch pencils only.
We will begin the class by learning about shading and texture, and doing some basic shading exercises. Then we will proceed to work with our reference photo. The reference photo will be a different one for each section of this class, and will be either a still life, or a scene from nature. The photo will be posted to each classroom before the class begins. We will be working with the same reference photo for the duration of the class.
