Have you been introduced to the very basics of drawing and are now ready to further develop your skills? You will see your drawing confidence and capabilities greatly improve after 5 weeks with us.

We will go through various exercises in the following areas:

• How to compose your drawings to create balance and make it more visually appealing (this will apply to all mediums)
• How seeing that negative and positive shapes share edges which will improve your drawing
• Mastering sighting techniques in order to draw perspective and proportion

You will benefit from utilizing this class as a time to brush up and refine your drawing skills and techniques.

If you want to get more out of the class, homework will be given for you to further practice exercises on your own time, but is completely optional.
