Drawing: Beginners

Students will explore and develop some key concepts and skills involved in understanding and making drawings through a series of observational drawing exercises. Students will develop the ability to structure representational drawings that incorporate a selection of drawing implements and mediums. Students will also begin to develop and explore their own personal style and approach to drawing.

Topics covered include: tonal value, line, proportion and collage and composition.
