Drawing I May 12, 2010

Working primarily in charcoal and pencil, explore contour, light and shadow, proportion, perspective, and composition while drawing from still-life objects and the human figure. Begin with simple drawing exercises, then advance to more finished drawings. Also, discuss drawing media and papers. Bring an 18- by 24-inch newsprint pad, an ebony pencil, vine charcoal, compressed charcoal, a hard eraser, and a kneaded eraser. The tuition includes a fee for models.
