Fundamental Drawing Course
In this course, we explore both simple and complex shapes as the foundation for constructing an image.
You’ll learn how to render form using line and tone, apply basic perspective,
and create balanced compositions through pictorial spacing.
Each class builds on the last, guiding you toward a deeper understanding of how to develop and complete an image.
By the end of the course, you’ll feel confident continuing to create your own works,
​incorporating your individual style while applying the fundamental elements of drawing.
The final two weeks are dedicated to drawing from life, integrating all that you’ve learned into practice.
