Drawing

This drawing course develops foundational skills through a balance of observational practice, creativity exercises, and technical instruction. Students will strengthen their understanding of line, value, texture, form, perspective, and composition while improving accuracy and proportion through techniques such as the grid method. Working with multiple materials, students will complete observational studies, structured skill-building assignments, and imaginative projects designed to expand creative thinking. Emphasis is placed on both technical growth and personal expression, helping students build confidence and produce a cohesive portfolio that reflects their progress and artistic development.
