Introduction to Drawing

This course emphasizes the development of observational drawing skills and hand-eye coordination. The learning sequence progresses from simple forms and skill levels toward more complex compositions. Basic drawing elements such as line, proportion, perspective, composition, texture, and the study of light and shade are investigated through various perceptual and conceptual approaches. Open to beginning students and those who want to refresh their skills before moving on to more advanced studio courses.

"[The instructor] is fantastic – super open and encouraging to his students of all abilities and backgrounds, has great knowledge and skill but is never autocratic about it. Studio time was great!" —Student from Introduction to Drawing
