(No Class: 11/27)

This drawing class will begin with the basic techniques for drawing 3D objects using perspective, composition and shading. We start with simple forms and will work with single objects and still lifes utilizing different rendering styles. We will continue with the natural world including plants and landscape also involving more complex composition and perspective. The next stage will cover portrait drawing including self-portraits, then we will do figure drawing and study the draping of clothing. There will be a live model for the final two classes in the session.

(In the event that BAC has to cancel a class session due to weather or facility emergencies, please note the pre-scheduled makeup date for this workshop will be Wednesday, December 18. More information on our policies for cancellations can be found HERE.)
