Join artists Paul Richmond and Melissa Forman for a class focused on design fundamentals. Learn the basic principles of design, and how they can be utilized in every step of your artistic process. We'll start with an overview of the design principles and share examples from art history that utilize them. Then we will use cutout geometric shapes to explore different compositional strategies. Next, we will explore thumbnail sketches followed by an exercise in creating depth using line. The next lesson is all about using movement and rhythm in your drawings. And for our final project, we will do a longer drawing of a tiger and learn about creating an intentional focal point.
Join artists Paul Richmond and Melissa Forman for a class focused on the fundamentals of drawing. Learn how to work with value to add a more realistic sense of dimension to your drawings. We'll start by looking at some examples from art history and discussing how the artists utilized light and shadow in their work. Then we will do a simple value scale to explore the range of values your pencil can create. Next, we will draw a sphere that looks three-dimensional with shading and a cast shadow, followed by a more complex still life set-up with multiple objects and a dramatic light source. For our final project, we will do a reverse drawing, covering the paper with graphite to create a middle value and then adding shadows with the pencil and highlights with the eraser.
