Discovering Drawing: From Sketching to Contour

In this “live” online class, you will be guided through some basic techniques for doing observational drawing based on your own 3D objects. All you need is some paper, a pencil, an eraser, and access to items around your house. We will do a series of drawing exercises, beginning with “sketching” techniques and lead into some tips for refining your drawings, by focusing on contours. This class is open to a variety of age levels and is geared toward beginners. There will be opportunities for you to submit questions throughout, and a chance to show off your work at the end (if you choose)!

1. A table or ledge in front of you-to be able to set objects upon

2. A pencil-try to find a regular pencil or a drawing pencil-not a mechanical, only bc it indents the paper with lines and the lead breaks often, and lastly, bc we will be holding our pencils in a non-traditional way, which will be challenging with a mechanical pencil.
