The drive to create imagery is as old as human consciousness. The great French artist Paul Cezanne said, "One should begin by studying geometric forms; the cone, the cube, the cylinder, the sphere. When one knows how to represent the forms and planes of such things, one would know who to paint."
If you can draw basic geometric shapes, then the artist within you is ready for exploration. We are going to start with the fundamentals of the pencil drawing from simple geometric shapes through line, tonal value, (different techniques of shading), perspective, proportion and composition. We will smoothly transition from pencil drawing of a still-life to acrylic painting on canvas. Students will work from a variety of objects, starting with a pencil drawing of a still-life and then paint the same still-life with acrylic on canvas. Students will receive one-on-one instructions and step-by-step demonstrations.
Bring drawing board 18x18 or 24x36. THE REST OF THE MATERIALS WILL BE PROVIDED.
