A good drawing is the foundation for art in any media. Using the humble pencil you’ll learn the basic elements of drawing, such as form, dimension, shading, perspective, and more. The in-class drawing will be supplemented by optional homework and instructional videos. By the end of this course you will have drawn a variety of subjects including animals, flowers, landscapes and still lifes.  Local artist and teacher, Marie Taylor, is the instructor for The Basics of Drawing.
