Drawing is a skill that anyone can learn, but first you need to learn how to see as an artist sees. Instructors will facilitate developing your “artist’s eye” and drawing skills in a fun, supportive and nurturing environment. Every two weeks a different instructor will present a drawing topic to explore. Foundational drawing experiences will include observational and contour line drawing, basic shapes and forms in space, perspective, mark making and tonal values. Genres are determined by the day's instructor, and may include landscape, still life, portraiture and the figure, animals, cartooning, abstract or nonobjective art. All levels of artists are invited to participate in this course. Students may work with the instructor or on their own projects. Check out the OLLI webpage for this course for more information about our activities, resources and past project samples.
