FA16 Tuesday Intro to Drawing

“A drawing is simply a line going for a walk.” – Paul Klee

Drawing is a skill which can be learned and fostered. Anyone can learn to draw or improve their abilities with practice!

Each students’ skill set will grow through a variety of drawing techniques and exercises. An assortment of materials will be used including pencil (graphite), charcoal, oil pastel, conte crayon, ink and a collection of papers. Students will be encouraged to keep a small sketchbook outside of class, to support the skills learned during studio time.

In the early fall, when the weather allows, class will be held outside.  Drawing outdoors teaches students to observe and capture the life and motion of the city around them..

Materials List:

– Compressed charcoal

– Pencils  (H, F, HB, 3B, 6B)

– Some erasers (gum and or kneaded)

– Large drawing paper pad (18 “x 24” http://www.dickblick.com/items/10316-1009/)

– Small sketchbook to carry for daily use (5” x 7”, or any shape and size you like!)

This class meets every Tuesday from 5:30-8pm in the 2D studio  (W20-425) and is taught by Nicole Tariverdian.
