Drawing for Children -
Ages 8 – 12
Date: Begins Sun.: 10/5
Time: 12:30 p.m. - 2:00 p.m.
Duration: 8 weeks
Fees:
Members: $84
Non-Members: $96
Instructor: Matthew Gartland
In this class students will
learn the basics of drawing. Using still life as
subject and model, students will learn to draw what they see.
Starting with charcoal and progressing to pastel,
the emphasis will be placed on accuracy and concentration, composition,
and light. In addition, individual choices concerning color, design,
texture and scale will enable students to express an original and
individual approach to their subject. Several drawings in charcoal and
pastel will be completed
during the class. The studio work will be supplemented by demonstrations
by the instructor. Students with significant
experience in these media are welcome to use the class to advance their
skills. Only a drawing pad
(18”x24” white drawing paper), charcoal (2 or 3 sticks of compressed
charcoal) and erasers (plastic eraser and pencil eraser) must be brought
to the first class.
