Drawing Fundamentals (Summer 2013)

Students in this class will have fun while learning the challenging skill of drawing from observation. Short drawing exercises will give students the confidence and ability to tackle more finished works of art.

Lessons will incorporate a variety of materials and genres such as still life, portraiture, and landscape. For inspiration, students will view and discuss drawings by well-known artists through in-class discussions and mini-field trips next door to the Minneapolis Institute of Arts to see firsthand the works of artists covered in the lessons.

What to bring: 18 x 24" pad of drawing paper; HB pencil; eraser. / Students should expect to spend about $60 on supplies for this class (not included in tuition). / A complete list of suggested materials will be discussed during the first class meeting.

Students in this class must be at least 11 years of age, and no older than 14 years of age, the date of the first class meeting. View our complete policies here.
