SPRING ADULTS: Drawing and Collage: Techniques of a Draftsman

Course Description:     
This 8-week class will introduce students to 6 mediums - pencil, colored pencil, watercolor/ink wash, pastel (water-soluble), markers, and conte crayon. This class will be designed to show students not only the basic usage of these materials, but also how they can be built on top of one another using collage techniques. Using still lives and reference material, the artist can build out a drawing that is sophisticated, layered, and dream-like. The steps and components of the observational drawing process, both practical and conceptual, engage problem-solving and critical thinking abilities which can be employed in a variety of contexts both within and outside the visual realm.
