This course is designed to introduce and develop a range of drawing techniques for students both with and without drawing experience. Beginning with line and tone, students will work through a wide range of core drawing skills and disciplines including composition, colour and expressive mark-making. Each class session will provide an opportunity to work and exploit ways to use specific drawing materials and techniques, drawing from architectural interiors, the still life, the human figure and from personal visual research and enquiry. The course will enable the development of skills and techniques to record and draw independently using a sketchbook and making enquiring studies to develop a series of resolved artworks derived from drawn sources. |
