Wednesdays 5:30 pm – 8:30 pm
This drawing course will expand on the understanding of core drawing skills and will focus on working with light (value), space, shape, line, and texture. Exercises will explore a variety of drawing processes and techniques that will then be used to develop more sustained, personal drawings.Topics to be investigated include: subtractive processes, metamorphosis of form, composition, and tonal development. Students will work from photographs, still life, and their imaginations. Ongoing feedback and group discussions will be part of every class. Art history lectures related to the topics explored in the course will occur at each class.
This drawing course is designed as a continuation of Thompson’s Extraordinary in the Ordinary I. It is best suited to students with some previous drawing experience and an interest in taking their drawing to a new level.
