Prerequisite: N/A

n this semester-long course, students will learn fundamental techniques

to draw accurately from direct observation. Topics cover a variety of

subjects to draw ranging from the figure to self portraits and

proportion and shading.  Students learn to work with a variety of

drawing materials including colored pencils, charcoal and drawing

pencils.  This course is recommended for students interested in

advancing to the Studio Level Portfolio Courses and/or planning to

Grading

Students are graded in three main areas; the first grade is based on

daily workshop points.  Students earn daily credit for coming to class

and using their time productively.  This grade reflects the effort to learn

new skills, regardless of one’s ability in art.  Once they practice a new

technique, students then undertake a major project to submit for a

project grade.  Lastly, weekly homework is a necessary way to

independently practice skills learned in class; these assignments total

about an hour a week.
