18, 25 May + 1 June Wednesdays, 1:00 � 4:00 PM

Participants will become familiar with various drawing tools; pencils, graphite sticks, water-soluble pencils and charcoal to name but a few and different papers. We will begin in a very experimental way, concerned only with mark making and becoming comfortable with our supplies – spiral drawing, contour drawing, cross-hatching etc. Everyday objects will be our inspiration. Weather permitting we may take our drawing/sketching out-of-doors.

Each class will find us studying various elements of design/composition; Line, shape, form, proportion, positive and negative space, perspective. Compositional techniques will also be studied; i.e. rule of thirds, viewpoint etc.

Students will need a sketchbook* and the drawing tools mentioned below.

-A variety of soft pencils –  HB, 2B 4B 7B
-Graphite stick
-Vine charcoal
-Drawing Board and large bulldog clips or binder clips, 3 or 4. (Please note you can make your own drawing board from any rigid material, it just must not flex or bow when you are sketching on it. Or you can purchase one from an art store.)

-blending stumps, thin and wide diameter
