Beginning Drawing - Jonathan Hodge
NO CLASS OCT 1 & NOV 26
In this course, we’ll cover many foundational principles and techniques to gain a firm grounding in the art of Drawing. Students will study master works and do a series of different exercises aimed at understanding gesture, structure, basic forms and simplification. We will learn comparative measurement, plumb lines, block-ins, terminator lines and maybe even get into form turning a.k.a. rendering. The juicy fun stuff. There will be class discussions, demos and personalized critiques.
