Teen Drawing is a great class for beginners, as well as students who want to slow down and strengthen their foundation. Over four weeks, students will focus on the core skills that help every artist grow, including shape, line, shading, proportion, and learning how to really observe what they see. By the end of this class, each student will have a completed still life drawing that they can be proud of!
In this class, students will:
- Learn foundational drawing concepts like line, shape, value, proportion, and form
- Practice drawing from observation
- Explore shading and light to create more dimensional drawing
- Strengthen their sketching habits and artistic confidence
- Work toward a finished still life drawing by the end of the session
Week 1) Basic shapes and proper sketching form. Showing the kids how to sketch lightly and that everything can be broken into basic shapes. Follow along demo and real practice time. Start the still life with a light touch.
Week 2) Shading Techniques. Show options for sketching that aren't outlines, practice seeing positive and negative space.
Week 3) Light and Shadow. Show how light creates form on an object and how to turn those basic 2D shapes into 3D forms.
Week 4) Drawing real - life objects. Put all these concepts into practice and work on finishing the still life.
