ADVANCED DRAWING

Sadko Hadzihasanovic´Jennifer HinrichsKlaas Hendrik Hart

This program is specifically designed for students with previous drawing experience who want to continue to create "free" works with a variety of subject matter. Using lines, tones, texture and colour, participants will move their drawing abilities to a more complex field where they will explore the classical taste for harmony without losing personal style. Addressing both the complexities and issues surrounding still life and portrait, students will improve their drawing skills and develop a better understanding of the discipline.

This course explores the beauty of natural order in both the human body and pictorial composition. The class will provide a basic understanding of the human body's underlying structures, along with delineating strategies for representing those forms 2-dimensionally. Drawing from both the model and from memory, students will create a composition and anatomical figure drawing.

CREATIVE DRAWING

Lydia Panart

This course is designed for students who wish to develop their drawing abilities by working with different subject matter, drawing media and techniques over a three term span. Each term will build successively on the other. It is therefore recommended that students attend all three terms. Students wishing to attend only the winter or spring term should have some previous drawing skills.

Monday 12:30-3:00 pm

TERM I - Fall: $560.00

Look, Describe, Analyze, Interpret: Creative projects will lead students to apply the elements of design, such as line, shape, form, colour, texture and space in strong compositions. The goals are to strengthen drawing skills, to get the most from each exercise and to develop critical thinking.

TERM II - Winter: $435.00

People and their Surroundings: Students will explore the language of sketching. Projects will be based on the study of people in different contexts: at the park, at a café, at a train station, on the street, etc. Working from life and photographs, the class will work on portraiture, capturing facial expressions, and studying different postures of the human figure. Perspective will be introduced as a tool in creating the illusion of space, both outdoors and indoors. Model fee included, materials list provided

TERM III - Spring: $470.00

Drawing Nature: Combining the skills acquired in the previous terms, students will learn different techniques to represent nature using graphite, charcoal, conté and chalk pastels, as well as other special media and surfaces. Various landscapes and scenery will be explored.
