Drawing I provides students an experience working in several mediums while learning a range of techniques and approaches. Traditional media may include graphite, charcoal, ink, pastels, color pencil. Students will also learn to draw digitally using the iPad Pro and Apple Pencil in Procreate. Creativity, communication, & craftsmanship will be the focus as students work through prompts.

You should leave this class having grown your skills in:

Everyone come in with a baseline of skill. As the teacher my role is much like a gardener. I will try give you what you need to grow from your current state.

Throughout the course work may involve drawing from direct observation from life, photographic sources, and imagination. Often you will be making the choice of "what" to draw.
