Overview |
|
This intensive class is designed for individuals with
little or no prior drawing training. However, it has
been proven that the global skill of drawing any
perceived object, person or place requires only five
basic component perceptual skills. These skills are the
perception of edges, spaces, relationships, lights and
shadows, and the whole or gestalt. Global or whole
skills, such as reading, driving and drawing, in time
become automatic with the integration of the component
skills. |

|
|
While the focus of the workshop is
on drawing, absolutely no previous art training or
special talent for drawing is necessary.

Learning to draw means learning to see things
differently - to see in ways not frequently used in
ordinary life. Once learned, drawing can be used
to record what you see either in reality or in your
mind's eye, in a manner not totally unlike the
way recording thoughts and ideas in words. Whether
you feel you have little talent and doubt you could ever
learn; or you enjoy drawing but have not been able to
progress beyond a child-like level, this workshop shows
you how to gain and master drawing skills. If you
are already drawing as a professional artist you will
gain a greater confidence in your ability and deepen
your artistic perception.

Note to photographers:
Many recognized photographers have taken this class
and universally comment that learning to draw
heightens their ability to see the subject or
composition in a 'whole' new way. One of the
fundamentals of drawing on the right side of the brain
is the ability to recognize and draw negative space and
use it to create the desired composition of the
drawing. Equally important is the skill of sighting a
three dimensional subject and rendering it onto a flat
surface, and understanding light logic which creates
volume and depth in drawing. |
