Realistic Drawing Club

Course Summary

Learners will learn to do realistic drawings in a relaxing and interactive environment.

Course Description

Students will draw with pencils. We will cover the basics of how to use different pencils for different values, and how to really draw the shapes and lines in the subjects we draw. Each class will begin with observing the subject (about 5 minutes), where we will discuss art elements (line, shape, color, value, form, texture, and space). The remainder of the class will be working through the drawing process. Students will be encouraged to ask questions and talk to each other as long as they are working. Overall, I love to keep things light and relaxing. Even though we are learning technical skills, I love to make it personal for each learner and encourage their insights and questions. Learners will be encouraged to sign their artwork in a way that honors and completes their work, as well as share their finished drawing.

Supplies

Pencils, erasers and paper. :) I use regular computer paper or a sketchbook. It is preferable to have art pencils, which have different H/B values, but normal school pencils will work just fine. Here is the Amazon link for pencils I love to use: https://amzn.to/4qQvPeE
