About this course:

In this course, we investigate representational picture-making by exploring light, shade, and shadow. The instructor and students interact during class sessions, drawing together, sharing, and discussing individual processes. We draw the objects and spaces that surround us—things we see every day. A virtual studio visit with a  guest artist provides additional inspiration. Drawing materials include drawing pads, drawing pencils, HB to 6B, charcoal pencils/sticks, Micron pens and sumi/India ink and brush.
