This class does NOT follow our regular trimester schedule. It will meet only 8 times since most adults cannot commit large blocks of time to evening activites. It will also end two weeks prior to the beginning of the holiday season! A minimum of 5 registered students will be needed for the class to be held. All registered students will receive updates on the status of the class as we approach the start date. If the class is canceled due to inadequate enrollment, complete refunds will be provided to anyone who has registered and paid.
Since drawing has not been widely taught in the U.S. since the 1800's most adults today have never received any drawing instruction whatsoever. As a result, many adults feel they've missed out on something, and they want a second chance. The good news is, it's never too late. Even though you may feel yourself to be a complete beginner, your life- experiences and observations have helped you develop visual skills and creative instincts that children cannot yet have. To a child, who is a true beginner, everything is new. Adults however, have far more sophisticated mental processes and are typically capable of working at the Intermediate level. That may sound intimidating, but if you can write your name in script, color inside the lines and predict what color wiil be produced when you mix red and blue together, you're no beginner!
Drawing for Adults will focus primarily on core drawing skills. We will cover the use of line (edges), tone (light and shadow), spaces (negative and positive), relationships (perspective, proportion, etc.) and color. In addition, members of the class will be asked to provide input regarding their interests to learn specific objectives.
