Drawing: The Language of the Line Register View Cart

In this class the students will learn through deep observation of set up domestic still-lifes, cross hatching techniques and values giving it depth and bringing it to life. Combined with fun short gesture exercises to extend our knowledge how to approach drawing. Developing a personal language of lines, the student will be introduced to different techniques such as red chalk, chinese white and dry brush techniques to train the eye and merge it with our intuition. This class also gives students the opportunity to learn more about art history, different artists and how they developed their approach and observed the world to express something which is beyond the physical world.
