DRAWING FROM OBSERVATIONAnnie Albagli10 sessions >> Tuesdays, January 30–March 206:30–9:30pm, Studio 14, $480No prerequisite.
This course will cover basic techniques, materials, theory, vocabulary, and overall practice of observational drawing. We will investigate composition, spatial relationships, and the importance of light as it relates to the illusion of three-dimensional space. You will complete several drawings from life, including still lifes, portraits, and more. These drawings will be executed using a variety of traditional drawing materials such as charcoal, graphite, and ink as well as allow for experimentation with nontraditional media. You will develop an understanding of technical variety in mark-making using perspective, proportion, scale, volume, texture, contrast, value, line, and shading. Lectures, discussions, and group critiques will aid students in challenging their work and supplement weekly drawing projects.
