Always wanted to learn to draw? Then join this ONLINE course where students will be guided to explore line, texture, value, positive and negative space, light and shade, proportion, natural perspective, composition and mark making. Through weekly warm ups, presentations, demonstrations and exercises, you will be drawing from (natural) objects, views, images and imagination. You will explore a variety of dry and wet media and will be introduced to artists who use drawing in their art practice in an art historical and contemporary context. Students will be expected to present online with video and sound, share images and participate in group and individual discussions and mentorship.
TSA will deliver this course using ZOOM. Prior to the course session, you will receive an invitation for the session(s) via email. You'll need a laptop, desktop or tablet, internet connection with good bandwidth and headset (either wired or wireless). We recommend that you set up a free ZOOM account and be familiar with ZOOM prior to the class beginning. Here is a link to help you get started: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/categories/200101697
