Beginning Drawing - Jonathan Hodge

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.
