Basic Drawing Techniques (Online)

Students will learn basic drawing techniques as they create observational drawings. Students will build on their ability to identify contour lines of an object then add value to create a realistic drawing using shading techniques including highlights and shadows. As the class progresses, each learner will be able to determine if they are ready to learn perspective techniques to draw a composition based on objects and images they observe around them.

Basic Drawing Techniques meets for two hours on Tuesday and Thursday from 10-12 on June 23 and June 25.
