I offer an 8-week drawing course that is information-packed and a valuable learning experience. The program is designed to provide you with a fundamental introduction to traditional drawing techniques. We will be meeting in-person with small class sizes to ensure that you receive adequate attention. The primary subject matter includes still-life, landscapes, and cityscapes. However, all of the subjects we cover will incorporate learning skills and techniques that may be applied to drawing just about anything you can see or imagine. (New: Pay-As-You-Go, One-on-One and smaller group options available - Please see below)
SIMPLIFIED COURSE DESCRIPTION:
IN-DEPTH COURSE DESCRIPTION:
The Introduction to Drawing course is a progressive series of small-group, beginner-level classes, designed to help you build a strong foundation of drawing skills. These classes are ideal for absolute beginners who have always wanted to draw. In addition, these courses are a great supplement to existing artists who need a refresher, or those who have never attended a traditional drawing foundations course.
I have taken what would equate to years of art school classes and selected what I think are the most relevant and useful introductory elements. The course is intended to provide you with basic drawing application skills that can be used to constantly improve your artistic progress. If you're considering a professional career in the visual arts, this course is a great preparatory supplement to the challenges ahead.
The course provides a thorough and highly personalized level of instruction as we build on what you learn each week. Every class is loaded with information that is quickly put into practice. I then work with each individual to make sure all of the concepts, skills, and techniques that we cover are thoroughly understood. If you're struggling with a concept or technique, you may always contact me with pertinent questions. I have the utmost respect for people's time and consider these classes to be an educational investment. I make it a point to ensure everyone is getting their time and money's worth.
*The classes will meet once a week at an average of three hours per session with a 10-15 minute break, halfway through each class.
Note: The typical cost for class materials is between $30-$40 for the entire course (depending on the quality and quantity of materials you buy). You may purchase your own supplies - or - have supplies provided for you on the first day of class. *To keep your initial supply cost low, the list is compromised of basic drawing materials. As the course progresses, I will introduce a few supplies that are completely optional for you to purchase and bring to later sessions.
(COMING SOON) Upon registration confirmation, you will receive a supply list for the 8-week course via email. The total cost of supplies should range from $30-$40.00, depending on where you shop. Some stores allow for a student discount so be prepared to show your supply list during check-out. I recommend this choice as it gives you the opportunity to familiarize yourself with your local art supply store. If shopping online, please make sure to read the supply list descriptions before ordering.
(COMING SOON - pending location) This is a good option for those with busy schedules or folks who would prefer to have the exact supplies requested. I am happy to provide supplies for you, however, be aware you will be charged a $10 service fee, included in the total (course fee $400 + supply fee $40 + service fee $10 = $450). You will still receive a descriptive supply list after registration confirmation so that you are informed of the items you are purchasing.
The pay-as-you-go option is for those who would prefer personalized, one-on-one sessions, or gather a group of friends for classes with flexible scheduling and location options. As each class builds on previous sessions, we will plan successive meeting dates as we progress through the course. You may purchase your own supplies with the list emailed to you or pay a $50 additional, one-time fee to have the materials provided for you on day one.
