DRAWING (USING A VARIETY OF MATERIALS & TECHNIQUES)
Length: 8 weeks Cost: $235
Drawing is one of the core disciplines upon which a classical art education
rests, it serves as a foundation for the training of artists. Fortunately,
drawing is teachable like learning to play music. This course introduces
the basic language of drawing and how it is used to communicate what and
how we observe. While many first-time students have doubts about their
ability to draw, we know you will discover not only that you can draw,
but the essential element of drawing, which is how to observe.
This course introduces the fundamentals of drawing from how to measure
proportions, design, perspective, composition, and quality of line. This
course is for the complete beginner, as well as anyone who wants to review
the principles and current practices of drawing. By teaching the techniques
and methods of drawing, this course develops skills that are critical
in all aspects of the production of art. You will develop skills through
the study of a range of subjects such as still life, architecture, plant,
natural forms, and manufactured objects. Line, space, texture, form, colour,
and measurement will be employed to produce drawings using various media
and techniques.

DRAWING THE FIGURE FROM THE LIFE MODEL
Length: 8 weeks Cost: $255
Learn to draw the figure or improve your skills in the exploration of
the human form. Observation, proportion, use of drawing media, technique,
use of line and tone will be included in this course. We offer structured
life drawing classes where students are tutored in understanding the human
form, learning straight from the nude model you will learn the finer points
of human anatomy. Representation of the human form is both challenging
and rewarding. This class is designed for those who want to acquire the
skills required for life drawing or those who have already developed an
interest and are seeking to expand their skills. This course will heighten
your understanding of form, structure, composition, foreshortening, light,
and shadow. Combining these components with basic drawing approaches,
including use of gesture, portraiture, and anatomical study allows the
student a personal connection with the figure.

FINDING THE EXPRESSIVE ESSENCE IN FIGURE DRAWING USING MIXED MEDIA
Length: 8 weeks Cost: $255
Gesture drawings are fast and loose, explore the human figure through
close observation on a deep level. We will use gesture drawing to experience
the dynamics of movement. Gain a deeper understanding of anatomy and enhance
your skills, as you articulate and bring to life the figure through drawing.
The exploration and experimentation of mixed media is exciting, especially
when the student has some experience in the more mainstream painting and
drawing media. This is a new way of seeing. You will learn how to create
compositions using media, washes, tonal value, and technique. Here is
a class that will move you from the basics to the creation of exciting
finished pieces that are creative and free with an element of experimentation.

DRAWING THE PORTRAIT
Length: 8 weeks Cost: $255
Learn the fundamentals of anatomy, proportion, line and value to capture
the sitter's features and personality. Portraiture combines two special
skills: the ability to work from observation, and the patience to allow
the relationship between drawer and sitter to evolve. This course provides
an intensive study of the human face from structure to expressive interpretation.
Using step-by-step exercises, those who are new to drawing portraits will
develop an understanding of facial anatomy, the role of light and shade,
as well as learn a variety of technical approaches. The uses of materials
will be explained and illustrated and by working in a careful manner,
finished drawings will be produced. Demonstrations and discussions will
be an important ingredient of this course
