About this course

The course will look at everyday items and analyze them for the purpose of drawing them as correctly as possible. You will repeatedly draw the same object in each lesson with regular class and individual feedback, encouraging you to see diverse aspects of what your eye perceives and how to convey that to the page.

The intention of this course is to persuade any adult that drawing is something that can be learnt as opposed to the common belief that it is an inherent talent.

You will learn to critically analyze items that you want to draw and be more aware of the rules to draw voluminous objects.

No skills or knowledge needed, only request is lots of calm concentration and patience to try and try again.

What you will need to bring to the course:

A blue or black biro
