This class will investigate the concepts and methods of tonal (value) drawing. Using still life subject matter, we will explore the fundamental properties of value and a range of media and methods available in depicting value in observational drawing. Basic layout and measuring techniques will be reviewed. Additive and additive/subtractive methods of creating value will be introduced. Instruction will be tailored toward the progress of each student.
This class can be repeated.
Mondays, 10:00am to 12:00pm
