Shading, contour and perspective
Drawing 1-4
Drawing 1- In this course, students work with a variety of drawing media and fundamental drawing techniques: value (shading), contour (continuous line), perspective (three-dimensional figure), and gesture. Drawing is presented both as a tool that can be used in other art courses and as an art form in itself.
Drawing 2- At this level, students work with more involved drawing problems and techniques. Advanced skills in drawing, use of new materials, and presentation of works are all emphasized.
Drawing 3- Students in this course will work on developing an individual style through personal expression and will explore more sophisticated drawing techniques. Opportunities are presented for working independently.
Drawing 4- The focus of this advanced course is personal expression. Students will continue developing their own style as well as exploring sophisticated drawing techniques. Students will have a portfolio of their work when the course is completed.
