Just a Reminder: “Improve Your Sketching Skills” Art Class will be held on Tuesdays, September 19th and 26th, 10 – 12PM– Taught by Jeanette Green; If you want to learn how to draw or how to improve your sketching skills, this class is for you. We will cover several different methods to help you draw what you see and improve your accuracy. In the first session, students will quickly sketch a stillͲlife subject. In part 2 of this session students will sketch the same subject but instead focus on the “negative” space around their subject to “see” their subject better. In the second session, the class will model line and value drawings of stillͲlife objects. The instructor will demonstrate how to plan out the composition. Students will learn how to draw accurate cups, vases, bowls, and bottles using the ellipse method. We will also practice creating depth with contour lines and how to do size/angle comparisons and finally light and shade modeling. Cost for the 2 week session is $20
