Still Life Drawing
Still Life Drawing
It is difficult to learn the things you need to become a good artist, without learning to draw well...observing and understanding proportion, line, value, form and volume, will open the doors to everything else. Only by mastering the basics can we build a firm foundation based on real knowledge, and have any realistic possibility of artistic freedom, creative expression and artistic excellence whether we choose to draw, paint or sculpt - there is no magical short cut in the attainment, simply a lot of hard work, devotion and determination. If you are ready to begin this amazing adventure or need more opportunity to build on what you already have learned, this could be the class for you! Remember that ANYONE can draw, it is just as teachable as reading or writing! The only variable is our level of natural ability.. discover your starting place and watch your skill continue to grow.Levels: Begin-Inter Offered: 6 Tues.. beginning May 7, Time: 3:00- 5:30pm, Class Fee: $145/ $125 Members Instructor: Susie Wilson* Susie has a BA in Fine Art Printmaking from the Norfolk Institute of Art and Design (UK), a degree in Illustration and an HNDBTEC degree in Education, also in the UK. .
