Level: Beginner and beyond
Intro to Drawing
4 weeks | Wednesdays | Feb 18th-March 11th | 6-8:30pm
Ages 17+
Instructor: Matt Borruso
All materials provided.
Drawing is the primary visual language and foundation for all visual representation. It is a process and a skill which demands a heightened sense of observation and a deep contemplative engagement with the world around us. In this brief class we will work to sharpen our sense of observation and endeavor to “see” more, recognizing underlying patterns and basic forms, as well as identifying the lights, shadows, and complex textures that give shape to our physical environment. These observations will be translated from eye to hand, and pencil to paper creating representations of a three-dimensional world onto a two dimensional surface.
