Upcoming Classes at Full Circle Arts
Basics of Drawing, taught by Ellen Schwarzbek
Three Saturdays, Oct. 18, 25, Nov. 1, 10:00 to 1:00
Full Circle Arts members - $60, non-members - $75
Registration deadline is October 17. Ages 14 to adult.
Drawing is the foundation of all the visual arts.
This class is for beginners and for those who want to refresh their skills in seeing what they wish to draw. Each Saturday morning we will set up a still life and study it carefully, emphasizing one of the following approaches:
1. Perspective
2. Composition with negative space.
3. Light and form.
You will not come away with pretty pictures, but you will understand better the process of drawing.
Students should bring several sheets of drawing paper, pencil or charcoal, and a good eraser.
