Why is Drawing Important?
Why is Drawing Important?
Drawing isn't just little indications, like the image to the left. No, drawing is the foundation of all art! You can create little indications or all the details. This foundational drawing course will teach students vital drawing skills that will shape and mold their unique art style in the future. Drawing is the first step in most art creations, therefore it should be the first thing learned! If you can't draw something properly and understand how to establish value (shading) within an image, all other art made will look off or like it's missing something. A great painting starts with drawing, a concept for a sculpture must be thought out and drawn with measurements before the materials come out to begin forming the piece. As an artist, you don't want to waste materials because they cost money, therefore plan or draw out what you desire to create first then build as you go. All that to say this course is very important and step 1 as a growing artist. See course outlines, dates and times, and costs below within our various levels to fit your drawing needs! ↓

Build on the foundation by stepping into landscape drawing. It may seem easy, but with all the details and value pieces it can get muddy or difficult if you aren't quite sure what you are doing. Thankfully, this course will allow for you to keep building while being assisted and prepared for the journey ahead. This course will challenge you in ways you didn't think possible, but it will propel you deeper into the world of drawing and assist in your art creation process, present and future, like never before.

Still life drawing can be intimidating but with the right teacher, you will master the art in no time. Why is still life drawing relevant or important? We are so glad you asked! Still life drawing isn't just a timeless act done like famous artists throughout history. No, this art form is vital because it encourages the artist to draw the world around them as they see it. The amount of highlights, shadows, and gray areas are determined by the artist and what they see. Through this art form, many are able to harness their drawing skills to create something advanced and almost life like. Drawing a still life takes skill because anyone can draw a bowl of fruit, but how many can truly establish depth and light within an image?
