Drawing 3-4 Course Description:

Students will learn advanced drawing techniques including 2-point, 3-point and exaggerated perspective, proportional drawing and gesture drawing. Students will further develop their drawing skills using media from Drawing 1 as well as dry pastels, oil pastels and brush/ink techniques. Focus will be on development of advanced skills, personal drawing style, originality and life drawings. Historic drawing masters will be taught through drawing projects.
