Foundation Drawing is an important and easy first step into drawing. Understanding the simplest forms of expression using fun and easy techniques allows endless possibilities to explore and create no matter how far you decide to go. In this course we will go over basics such as types of drawing tools and materials (pencils, pens, color pencil), some familiar and some new. We will focus on learning how to really see what is in front of you. We will talk about and demonstrate simple and fun exercises meant to instill confidence as well as solidify very strong skills. You will create a variety of drawings and images while you learn and grow artistically. This class is taught in English.
