Drawing
Sketchbooks:
Sketchbooks are required for the working procedures of this class. Students are expected to complete weekly homework assignments, in class exercises, vocabulary notes or sketches in their sketchbooks.
Periodically, sketchbooks will be checked, assignments reviewed and a grade for the use of the sketchbook will be given. Most outside assignments are given as extra credit opportunities.
Students will be exposed to many approaches to the Drawing Process. These will include Contour, Gesture, Sketching from a model, the Still Life and Direct Observation of the environment around them.
Students will work on and learn to consider the Elements of Art and Learn to plan & develop compositions with a greater understanding of how to use them in their Artwork.
Students will also be exposed to and use many different drawing materials, such as graphite,
ink, charcoal, conte' crayon, etc.
Time will be given in each exercise to practice skill in use of materials and techniques which will result in individual growth of each student's Drawing abilities.
