"Drawing is simply taking a line for a walk."
​-Jasper Johns

In this class we develop skills in drawing and painting from observation.  In half of the projects in the class we work from direct observation, learning sight measuring, contour, perspective, form creation with value, color theory and personal style and expression.  In the other half of the projects, we explore design and alternative approaches to art making.  We are always looking for inspiration from throughout the history of what art has been in all cultures of the world throughout history.  Students experience both the meditative aspect of art by studying and drawing what we see as well as the inspirational, expressive aspects by creating from their imagination.
