Drawing Essentials with M Colleen Harrigan
Dates: February 8, 15, 22, March 1
Plus new course, Beyond Basics coming in April!
Time: 9:30AM-12:30PM
Location: Art Barn Drawing Studio
Fee: $240 for the 4 week course

This is a beginning course in drawing designed to develop and expand one's observational abilities and rendering skills. Students learn methods for sensitively describing objects in terms of line, shape, volume, cross-contour, proportion, light logic, perspective, and compositional space. Each class focuses on a particular formal concept and its function in drawing. Students begin with line drawings and conclude with fully modeled, tonal, volumetric, and still-life drawings. Also covered are fundamentals of pictorial space structure, aesthetics, content, and draftsmanship using still-life and natural forms. The course progresses from basic line drawings to fully modeled, tonal, volumetric, and still-life drawings using pencils, pens, and charcoal. Beginner friendly!

This is a figure drawing series which meets weekly for 2.5 hours for experienced artists. There is no instruction, but a volunteer class monitor will be present. There is a (nude) model each week who will hold poses, participants draw as they wish. Participants bring their own materials and sessions will have limited capacity (12 people) for the safety and comfort of our models and students.
