This class will introduce the basic skills you need to start drawing.

Contour drawing  sharpens your powers of observation and helps you understand volume and character. Seeing through a grid relates 3-dimensional space to 2-dimensional paper. Observation of positive and negative shapes helps you see proportions and relationships, and put them on paper. Thinking of boxes and planes will make light and shade easier. You can draw– it is easier than you think!
