This five week course is an introduction to basic drawing techniques and visual concepts, with a focus on translation of a three-dimensional form to a two-dimensional surface. 

Fundamental issues of drawing will also be introduced, (line, value, space, and composition). 

Objective, non-objective and intuitive approaches are covered as we explore mediums ranging from charcoal to pen and ink. 

Material list available upon registration.
