Drawing: Beyond the Fear of a Blank Page
Esteban del Valle
Tuition $1,195
Code D1121-23
Grasp the fundamentals of one of the most useful studio tools—drawing. Whether novice painter or beginning sculptor, this workshop focuses on several elemental drawing techniques to help strengthen students’ creative base. We explore drawing from observation and photographic sources, with an emphasis on mixed-media and drawing strategies designed to decrease the intimidation factor. We delve into techniques ranging from charcoal drawing to collage to pen-on-paper. Concentrating on a strong sketchbook practice and learning how to look, students focus on ways to approach complicated drawings regardless of skill level and get beyond the fear of the blank page.
