This class offers the basic building blocks of drawing. Working in a supportive atmosphere, students will learn techniques for translating the three-dimensional world into two dimensions: how to see and what to look for. While learning to use pencil and charcoal, students will develop eye-hand coordination.

There will be exercises designed in manageable components sequentially building on previous lessons, demonstrations, analysis of drawings of the masters, and constructive critiques. Having the opportunity to deepen these skills over a period of several weeks will enable you to sustain your practice.

Each student (age 14+) is required to have a current Proof of Vaccination Form on file with IS183. Please fill out and submit a form prior to the first day of your class.

IS183 is able to prorate tuition for any students registering for this class who are unable to attend class for religious reasons on 9/6-9/8 for Rosh Hashanah and 9/15-9/16 for Yom Kippur. Please sign up regularly and then email Jen@is183.org with the date(s) you are unable to attend due to religious reasons so we can refund you accordingly.
